"This was a good representation of the movie. I felt it was missing some of the humor from the movie. Some of the lines that I really liked from the movie were changed. I is still a decent book though, I was just a little disappointed. "
— Melanie (4 out of 5 stars)
" Foster does good novelizations and I enjoyed this quite a lot. Of course, I really love Star Trek. This one stayed real close to the movie, which was OK with me. "
— Charles, 4/2/2011" If you've seen the movie, you've read the book. It only gives you some information that the book does not. I don't think I'll read another Star Trek book however. "
— April, 4/2/2011" This pretty much follows the screenplay to the film, and that's not a bad thing. The scriptwriters knew what they were doing, and the result is a great pageturner, though nothing new or spectacular if you have seen the film. "
— J.W., 2/3/2011" Reading right now. Its novelization of the movie and does a good job but I think Alan Dean Foster always does a wonderful job. "
— Amanda, 12/28/2010" Not a bad retelling (by one of my favorite authors) of the Star Trek 'prequel/alternate history'. "
