Summary: I think Spock wrote this one...
Review: A "fascinating," Vulcan-like observation of a human and his Vulcan alter ego. Unlike many autobiographies, this one eschews tattletales, in favor of a relatively objective look at a remarkable career.The most interesting part is the inner dialogue between Nimoy and Spock, particularly after Spock's "reincarnation" (see Star Trek III: The Search for Spock). This one's a keeper.

Summary: An important part of a puzzle
Review: A puzzle that must inevitably contain William Shatners "Memories" books, as well. Reading both accounts, one can begin to see at least a good portion of the whole.
Nimoy's accounting is a good one, but definitely a very personal one. It is all from his own perspective, and this is solidified with rare use of others' quotations, and his rather delightful internal dialogues with the character of Spock. It tells not only of his time working on Star Trek's various projects, but his other loves, such as the theater, photography, and his career as a director.
Nimoy also seems to pull his punches more often than not. There is more than a little industry back-patting and mild shmoozing contained therein. Though he outlines a few of the problems he had with Gene Roddenberry and goes so far as to say "our personal relationship had deteriorated", he always falls short of actually condemning the man for his behavior on any matter, even some rather stressful, deceitful, and just plain cruel things he did.
But even though I'm a Star Trek fan, I was just as fascinated with the other parts of this work that don't really have that much to do with Star Trek... even if they're ABOUT Star Trek. More than being about Star Trek, this is also about the games that studios and those in the industry play. (Such as Nimoy and Shatner's own salary negotiation ruse.)
I have also found that some of what is laid out here can be used as invaluable tools for writing. Some of the concepts Nimoy lays out lead to thought and, though on the surface the application to writing isn't always obvious, I'd definitely suggest this as a multiple-read for any aspiring author.
This work also contains an important insight to other accounts released by connected actors such as Nichelle Nichols. She and Walter Koenig, among other Original Series castmembers, have cast rather damning disparagements towards William Shatner. However, the Shatner portrayed here is no slobbering ogre or spotlight thief, but what seems to be a very realistic showing of who he is... not without flaw, but certainly not a bad person. At one point, Nimoy notes that when his (Nimoy's) father died, Shatner attended the funeral, which touched Nimoy greatly. There is no mention of Nichols, Koenig, Doohan, or any of the others who have called Shatner selfish and arrogant attending this funeral, or aiding Nimoy in any other significant way. (There is mention of Nichols at one point being found late at night in Roddenberry's office wearing nothing but a sweatshirt, but Nimoy tries to allow the reader to assume that this might have simply been a prank.)
In all, this book isn't wholly about Star Trek, but rather about the effects of Star Trek on Nimoy's life, and it's a very, very worthwhile read.

Summary: As the good Vulcan would say - "Fascinating"
Review: A solid, well crafted work from a very surprising source. When one thinks "Leonard Nimoy" writer is NOT the first thing that comes to mind. However, after finishing this work it is difficult to discount the man's obvious talent. While the work is written in a sort of grandfatherly air, with fondness at youth past, there still remains grains of truth which embed themselves thoroughly in the psyche. It is a revelatory work concerning the creative process/struggle of an actor. It is at once very amusing and honest and is thouroughly infused with a sense of diginity one would not expect from a hollywood veteran.
The dialogues betweent the author and his ubiquitous character are in a word excellent. Nimoy manages to say so much through those short exchanges. It is definitely a must have for any serious star trek fan.

Summary: Beyond Logic
Review: A wonderful book. What can I say? Leonard Nimoy's stories are delightful and his book will please both, trekkers and non-trekkers. In it, we learn a lot about this great actor, director and - what do you know? - poet. Nimoy tells us about his career and, of course, clarifies the decade-long buzz about his "relationship" with everyone's favorite Vulcan. What's best, he does it with enormous elegance and good humour. By the way, if you're smart enough to buy this book, pay attention to the "Will I Think of You?" page. It's damn good.

Summary: Memoirs from the most talented of the original cast
Review: As an original Trekkie, I am always looking for additional information about the Star Trek phenomena. I am interested in more than just the shows themselves, I have an additional interest in the lives and careers of those who played the major characters. In this book, Leonard Nimoy not only discusses his role in Star Trek, but also other aspects of his professional life. Of all the major characters, he is the only one who developed a significant career in film outside of Star Trek. Yes, I am aware that William Shatner starred in a television series, but that was short-lived. Nimoy has been very active as a writer/director, being involved in the development of some very good movies.
There is very little information about Nimoy's personal life outside his career in the book. The bulk of the discussion concerns his role in the original Star Trek series, subsequent Star Trek feature films and some of his experiences behind the camera as a director. All information that I have encountered bolsters the thesis that Nimoy puts forward in the book, that he is very highly regarded as a director by the remainder of the Star Trek original cast. He also is very positive about William Shatner, and it is clear that he and Shatner are friends, despite some creative differences in the past.
Nimoy also raises a point about Shatner and Star Trek that should be taken seriously. Shatner has often been criticized for overacting in the series, Nimoy notes that it probably could not have been any other way. Jeffrey Hunter, the original captain, was more introspective, and was not well received by all test audiences. At that point in entertainment history, dynamic heroes were a necessity in all action venues.
Leonard Nimoy is a very literate man who tells a different side of the Star Trek phenomena. There is no scandal, no personal pique, just a statement of what happened and how much he enjoys having been a part of an ongoing entertainment phenomena.

Summary: couldn't put it down!
Review: As I preceeded to read, I felt as though I was with Leonard every step of the way, feeling whatever emotion he felt and absorbed. Very indepth book. He clearly states the good times, the bad times, even the times in-between from the start as how "Star Trek" got started, to the present-of his writing the book. I would pick it up again and re-read it, reference it, and (not) let my friends get their dirty hands on it! For fear of loosing the book!

Summary: "Fascinating" book on Nimoy's life after the original series
Review: Can't the guy make up his mind? Last time it was "I Am Not Spock!" Seriously, this is an autobiographical memoir of Nimoy's life, though focusing very closely and intently on his years with Star Trek. It goes into particular detail on the movies and especially the two that he directed. It makes for an interesting read, though the imagined dialogues with Spock are a little odd. His takes on the movies are particularly interesting, as he honestly gauges their successes and failures: ST:TMP all special effects, finished in a rush in order to be released on December 7. ST II a good success, ST III good but more of a connect-the-dots effort, ST IV perhaps the most successful of all the movies, ST V a failure but due to the script rather than the Shatner's direction, ST VI a substandard but adequate conclusion. He goes on to discuss other movies he directed, most notably Three Men and a Baby, though a couple of other, more obscure ones, as well. In the end, it seems, he is at peace with this second character inside his head. Despite its egocentric aspects, this is a - dare I say - fascinating book and a good read.
