" Nice novelization of the film by the same title. My copy happens to be autographed by James Doohan who played the iconic Engineer Montgomery Scott. "
" Though it was fun to reread this book, based on one of my favorite Star Trek movies, I felt that the style of the book was a bit forced. I can forgive that, given how hard I know it can be to novelize a movie. "
" The most fun of the original Trek movies, even as a novelization. "

" I love Vonda McIntyre's novelizations. Her character voice is great, and her treatment of the David/Saavik storyline is one of my favorite Trek subplots ever. "
" The book isn't badly written but the story just wasn't compelling to me. Not McIntyre's fault. It's a novelization. "
