STAR TREK MEMORIES (Abridged) Audiobook

" Shatner's version of the show's history tells some interesting and amusing stories but is mostly bland. There are hints of some of the darker side of the show in particular and tv in general, but Shatner elides over them. Mildly entertaining but trite and flat, and not terribly well written. "

" Ain't nothing wrong with a book about Star Trek. "

" This was a lot better than I expected. Some interesting behind the scenes information made it an enjoyable read for me. "

" Very interesting behind the scenes stories. A great read. "

" My husband got me tickets to see him speak, and I could hardly breathe!!!! I love him. He could have printed his laundry list and I would have loved it. Not a great reason, but it's honest! "

" If you are a Trek fan, (which I am) the book was very good. "

" The most hilarious thing I've ever read about Star Trek. I just loved it. I don't know how much Shatner actually wrote but his stories are great. The real inside scoop on the series. "

" If you read some of the other biographies by Star Trek alumni, you'll see where Shatner is stretching the truth, taking things WAY out of context, and/or outright lying. But it's still an interesting read. "

" C'mon, guy's. IT'S THE SHAT! In all his glory! Great read! "

" Filled with quoted text and less than analytical approach to Shatner's experiences with Star Trek, the book is a slight disappointment. "

" Not quite as good as "I Am Spock" but still an interesting read. "

" Fun read and an eye opener as to the true persona of Capt. Kirk. "

" There was Shatner, living out of a used tent-thing on the bed of his pickup truck, watching reruns of Star Trek on a two-inch screen tv perched on his chest...Later, a boy asks him where Spock is so he shows the him how the tent holds his away-mission gear... "

" I liked this more than the second book, Star Trek Movie Memories. Lots of information about Gene Roddenberry and how the show developed. Also the roles of Gene Coon and Fred Frieberger were explained. "

" I love Shat! I love Trek! Must read just to get his perspective on things. I feel he was honest in his perspective. "

" Pretty damn good book about a tv serie I'm not all that keen to. "

" I'm not sure if he meant to, but he made me chuckle a lot in this book. A fun read. "

" I want to know why James Doohan hated him, not how they painted those women green. "

" Fascinating book about William Shatner's involvement with the original Star Trek series. Very interesting, I learned a lot of stuff about the Original Series I didn't know before. Entertaining too. Lots of interesting & humorous anecdotes & stories. "

" This was written a lot earlier than the current Shatner memoir (of course), and it focusses on STAR TREK and how he perceived what went on. It was interesting to me more for the behind the scenes parts in general. Kirk was not my favorite STAR TREK character. "

" the first book i entered into my book journal. for some reason one day in january, 99 i decided to start listing everything i read. "

" Shatner fills his book with great stories from the inside of one of the most iconic shows of all time. There's also some bitchy gossip, if you like that sort of thing. (I think you probably do.) "

" I'm a big fan of Bill Shatner and it was great to understand how Star Trek was born. I can strongly recommend the audio book version, narrated my Mr. Shatner himself. "

" Oh, my God. I love Bill Shatner- such a wonderful ego. "

" Fascinating book about Wuilliam Shatner's involvement with the original Star Trek series. Very interesting, I learned a lot of stuff about the Original Series I didn't know before. Entertaining too. Lots of interesting & humorous anecdotes & stories. "

" Funny to find out what happened to the actors between the end of the series and the start of the movie franchises broke homeless crappy acting gigs. Cool stuff here. "

" An interesting insight in to the creation of star trek, but it was difficult to decipher when Bill was speaking as himself or as another character. "

" I like watching the episodes, but reading about how it all came together was a bit boring. Not enough of a trekkie, I guess. The humanistic worldview of Shatner was interesting to observe. All the divorces going on in Hollywood back in the early '60s. TV network politics, etc. "

" Loved it- great behind the scenes information- hysterical stories of practical jokes and comradery. "

" I liked this more than the second book, Star Trek Movie Memories. Lots of information about Gene Roddenberry and how the show developed. Also the roles of Gene Coon and Fred Frieberger were explained. "

" For buffs only though "

" Not quite as good as "I Am Spock" but still an interesting read. "

" Entertaining and fun. I love Mr Shatner but as a writer.... "

" What can I say? I'm a trekkie. "

" Interesting for the historical informaiton and the inside look at Star Trek, but Shatner is not and author! "

" I'll probably augment this review at some point but wowee, Shatner is gossipy. "

" I'm a geek, what can I say~ I enjoyed the book because I always love hearing about what happens behind the scenes of loved movies/shows/etc. "

" I want to know why James Doohan hated him, not how they painted those women green. "
