Pleasant MemoirMay 22, 2008 Jen(USA) Good look at the man behind Spock. As someone who is a fan of the show and movies, it was interesting to see the process behind them. Nimoy takes himself a tad too seriously occasionally, but his anecdotes are cleverly told and engaging.
Like nothing elseFebruary 10, 2007 CarlTrekkie(Belgium) Ask anybody, old, young, family, friend...if he knows about Mr. Spock: the answer will always be yes. Not anybody has seen a Star Trek TV show or movie but anybody knows about Spock the alien. Why? Why is star Trek the only serie that has become a legend and has been played for more than 40 years, hundreds of episodes with different casts ? Because of their creator Gene Rodenberry, because its vison of the future and better world was loved by millions of people, because of the unicity of their actors, especially the first ones, responsible of the creation of this worldwide cultural phenomenon. So it makes sense to read this actor and art director Leonard Nimoy: Mr Spock has a lot to say here and made a great book, with fun, emotion, philosophy and a mine of information about the creator of the serie, the directors, other actors, etc - must read !
Which is it???October 13, 2006 K. R. Szekely(charlotte) 0 out of 10 found this review helpful
Mr. Nimoy, are you Spock, or are you not Spock? You wrote this book and also wrote another book saying the exact opposite. To write a book saying one thing and to write a book that says the exact opposite is NOT LOGICAL!!! Logic, logic, logic. Fascinating. No, how about stupid. Vulcans don't show emotion, so you should not feel insulted by this review, or will you? Since you can't decide if you are Spock or not hahahaha.

Star Trek fans will love this book, and non-fans should like it as well. Many celebrity bio's are so Narcissistic you can't finish. Although there was some ego present here it was not overbearing. The first chapter was slow, but it picked up after that. The conversations between Spock and Nimoy are worth the price even to a modest fan of the original series. There were moments when you felt like you were on the set with him. Which made me feel like going back and re-reading all of the Star Trek novels. He also was kind to others in his industry who at times were rather nasty to him. I feel he is an underated actor. His two seasons on Mission Impossible and his episode on Columbo are worth viewing. I give it four stars.
Well doneSeptember 8, 2005 Eric Laughton(Buffalo, NY) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Well written. Mr. Nimoy remains humble and grateful for the success of the show. I am impressed; the book was an easy and yet extremely interesting read. Coming from the perspective of someone who grew up with the show - I enjoyed the details I never knew. Also, growing up without much financial resources (money) Star Trek -for some reason- gave me hope. May you (Mr. Nimoy) and the rest of the crew - live a long and prosperous live. Thank you for the years. May God bless Scotty.
