All Good Things... (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

Rating:
Summary: A Terrible Book!
Review: This is the unbelievable Series Finale of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", dramatized on two tapes by Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker). As it's a novelization based on the script(s) of the show, there a few notable scenes on the tapes (my personal favorite: Capt. Picard's first meeting with Mr. Mot, the ship's barber!) that aren't in the TV episode. But I think the extra scenes add greatly to the story, and they turn a two-hour episode into a quite enjoyable three-hour tape recording.

Since Q is a major player in this story, and since his voice is so unique, I was originally hoping that John de Lancie would be reading this novel. But Frakes does a Q impression that really brings out the prankster side of our favorite immortal, so I'm not disappointed. As with other Next Generation audio productions, the majority of the sound effects aboard the Enterprise appear to have been lifted right from the show. This tape is definitely first rate.
