Publisher Description

Best known to the world as the actor who created the legendary Mr. Spock in the cult television series that launched the Star Trek phenomenon, Leonard Nimoy has written the definitive Star Trek memoir. In this long-awaited autobiography, Nimoy opens up to his fans in ways the Vulcan never could.

Having played the pivotal role of Mr. Spock in the original series, in six motion pictures, and in a special two-part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as having directed two of the movies, Nimoy is well suited to tell the true story behind what was seen by the public. He provides an intelligent and insightful book about the creative process and the actor's craft - and gives his own unique insider's view of the creation of both the character, Mr. Spock, and the Star Trek phenomenon.

"As an old fan of the original Star Trek series, I enjoy all the related books on the actors and characters. In re reading this book by Leonard Nimoy, I once again am reminded of the sensitivity and intelligence of this actor. The depth of character analysis of Mr Spock is enlightening."

    " Considering this as a celebrity autobiography, it was actually not bad. A bit self-serving, but what can one really expect? Since I am a fan of the original Star Trek series, I greatly enjoyed the behind-the-scenes stories involving that part of Mr. Nimoy's life. "

    " I have to admit that I wasn't very interested most of the time. I usually enjoy "behind the scenes" type stories, but this was rather dull. "

    " Awesome look into the life of Leonard Nimoy and how he and the fans perceived his role as "Spock." He pretty much whines alot about being typecast...20 years later in the book "I am Spock," he decides..it's not such a bad thing to be Spock. "

    " I read I Am Spock before I got my hands on this one so I technically read all of it before since I Am Spock is basically just an enhanced version of I Am Not Spock but it was entertaining nontheless, and as a big Leonard Nimoy fan it will always be an enjoyable read. "

    " Having been raised a Star Trek fan (on Voyager, however) I've always loved delving further into and beyond the Trek universe. This book is really a treat and I love reading things through the eyes of Nimoy. Sadly, I have yet to read this books predecessor. "

    " I listened to this audiobook over the course of many evening constitutionals. I like the sound of Leonard Nimoy's grandfatherly voice. Also a nice glimpse into the behind the scenes of the original Trek series and films. Best experienced in this form, I think. "

    " Interesting and fact-filled; great for any Star Trek fan, and maybe some that aren't. For instance, did you know Leonard Nimoy directed the American remake of Three Men and a Baby? This book is full of stuff like that. "
