Summary: Boring, stupid and adolescent
Review: I could not finish this book. It was just too boring and adolescent. I did enjoy the introduction, with its slow descriptions of how empty space is until, WOW, the Enterprise flies by. Very cinematic.

The reasons I gave up on/hate this book;

1.) Talking Dolphins. Hello, this is Star Trek, not Sea Quest! I hated the image of Picard smugly talking to that damn Dolphin as they walked/swam down the halls. Grrr.

2.) Okay, here we are in a Red Alert situation! What does the captain do? He goes off to the holdeck! I know authors like to use the holodeck (So characters can gain some insight that will allow them to overcome the antagonist during the climax), but forcing the holo-scenes in the middle of an emergency situation pissed me off. Would not happen... Grrrr

3.) Diane Duane does not know how to write the TNG characters. My mind saw the characters, and they looked right, but when they spoke, it did not sound right. Too forced and unnatural. Grrr.

4.) Half way through the book, and the crew is still chasing sensor blips, talking to embarrassing Dolphins, and STILL playing on the Holodeck.

Forget this book! I wish I could. I know I will never read, or attempt to read, another book by Diane Duane. Someone from work gave me Spock's World, and I refuse to touch it!

See ya,

Me.

Summary: I loved the book.
Review: This is one of the best Star Trek books I've ever read. The idea about an alternate universe with evil twins is a good one. My favorite part of this book was when Captain Picard, Geordi, and Deanna almost have a way to defeat the enemy ship and are about to get discovered. I was up one night reading that part for about two hours straight. The suspense was tremendous and made for a very engrossing book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: This book puts in all the classic moves of TNG. It is fantastic. The way it has humor and feelings the way Picard makes the other Troi back off it is priceless. You can see it clearly as if you were watching the show. It is very, very good and anyone who is a star trek fan needs to get their hands on this book it is worth it. I've read it twice and I could read it a couple more times. I would recomend it to anyone. And it has it's bits of humor in it. And it makes you think twice of what Deanna could do. It is an excelent book!

Summary: Brief Discussion on Diana Duane's "Dark Mirror"-StarTrek TNG
Review: to the reader, Allow me to confirm your intentions on buying this book, it is spectacular! Rememeber the episode "Mirror, Mirror" in the original series where Kirk and crew became exposed to a dark and evil parallel dimension, well bring these memories into the 24th century! Imagine Picard with the wrath and anger of Khan, A power hungry and murderous Riker and a seductive Troi who has the power to probe your thoughts and use them to your destruction. All this with the possibility of Galaxy Class Battle ready Enterprise-D coming into our reality and taking over the Federation. It's all the same action of "Mirror, Mirror"-TOS, with the suspence of "Crossover"-DS9. -CarL Jackson

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Did you like Mirror, Mirror?
Review: If you did then you will like this story of the Enterprise crew meeting up with themselves. Picard and others battle to get away from the meaner Enterprise. By doing so they are freed from their bondage. This book, is easy to understand and funny in many places. Watch out for Deana, she bits!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Boring Book
Review: The premise is interesting, but the result is a boring book filled with unnecessary dialogues, ambiguous descriptions, and inaccurate scientific basis. If you're a die-hard Trekkie, you would probably read it anyway, but afterwards you would be writing a review just like this one

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Good Read, but overcome by events....
Review: The story is a well-conceived extrapolation of how events might have transpired in the "Mirror" universe created by the Original Star Trek series. The story itself deals with "The Next Generation" crew and how they deal with the threat of an invasion by their "Mirror" Universe counterparts. On it's own merit, the story is worth a reader's investment, provided you can live with the notion that this story was written some time ago does not follow the Star Trek "canon" story-line developed for the Deep Space Nine crew since 1995

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best book ever
Review: I have read this book about 5 times. Star Trek The Next Generation: Dark Mirror is one of the BEST books I have ever read. I love mirrior universe and alternate reality stories and this is the best one I've read. Emily Mcdonald

Summary: Dar Mirror BRIEF review
Review: Diane Duane is an intelligent author. She knows her Star Trek. But she is to serious about it. She tends to be too wordy. "Dark Mirror" starts off really slow, but picks up by the middle/end. The last couple of chapters are too "techno-bablish". I prefer an auther like Michael Jan Friedman or Peter David who knows all about Star Trek but have a sense of humor about it. The highlight of this book is the BAD Troi. Also, the GOOD Picard is very good too. Hwiii the dolphine is LAME. I would not get it unless you have read all the other books you wanted to read. So in summary, this book is a "5". Not bad, not good. It shouldn't be a priority. I say, read "Q-Squared". It is completely an opposite style of "Dark Mirror". Oh, lastly, the DS9 shows have changed the "history" of this. They say the "empire" was tooken over, it still exsists in this book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Suspensful
Review: Excellent book. Revisits the "Imperial Star Fleet" from the original Star Trek episode "Mirror Mirror" - only this time it's not an accident. Just wish I could get a picture of Counselor/Political Officer Troi
