Summary: An amusing little book...
Comment: Okay, I confess: I was amused by this book, and since I suspect that that was most of its intention, perhaps I'm being too harsh in giving it only two stars. And yes, there were some legitimately thought-provoking ideas to be found...but only a few. If you can find this book used, cheap, as I did, it's definitely worthwhile for a lark. But there is DEFINITELY NOT enough book here to be worth list price. It is grossly overpriced to capitalize on the Star Trek market, and that's the source of my dissatisfaction.
Rating: 4
Summary: Gene Roddenberry Would Have Approved!
Comment: One does not have to be a "Trekker" to appreciate Marinaccio's book. It is filled with humorous comparisons between fantasy events of the Star Trek "world" with appropriate events in our day-to-day existence.
The book is an easy-read "primer" to introduce the uninitiated as to why millions follow the fictional exploits of the various inhabitants of one starship Enterprise.
Might not revolutionize the opinions that many have of "Trekkers" for the work is obviously written by someone who has analyzed and re-analyzed episode after episode of the series. But, that aside, the book is highly entertaining and reflective at the same time.
Rating: 5
Summary: A must read....
Comment: This book was very enjoyable & easy to read. I had read it when it first came out & again this week & would recommend it to Trek fan's & to those who just don't "get it"!
