Summary: Nimoy at his best
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It had tons of behind the scenes details that I love. It also showed his real concern for the quality of the show and his character.

Summary: A masterpiece
Review: I thought that I would be able to read this book bit by bit, but... well it was impossible. When I began reading, I just couldn't stop! It was so good! Everybody who likes/ever liked Spock/Nimoy should read this book!! I myself have re-read it over and over again!

Summary: I get this sense of deja'vu
Review: If you have have been a fan of Star Trek and Mr. Nimoy in particular and have read his previous autobiographical outing "I Am Not Spock" you will be sorely disappointed with this latest venture. I was stunned to see entire passages and many anecdotes lifted almost verbatim from the previous work with very little original material added. I have to applaud Mr. Nimoy on his commitment to recycling; a good 80% of his material has appeared not only in his previous book but in just about every interview and article he has done. For someone just now getting acquainted with Mr. Nimoy and the Trek phenomenon, all this would be new and fascinating but for the long time devotee eagerly awaiting the publishing of a "new" book....short changed is the term that comes to mind.Also, for a biography, there is very little personal material. I can understand not wanting to hang your dirty laundry out for the world to see. But since the publication of his first book, Mr. Nimoy has divorced, remarried, lost two parents, had a bout with alcoholism, worked under the direction of his son for an Outer Limits episode...these are the peaks and valleys that make up fully lived lives and amazing emotional journeys that grips a reader. We share none of this with Nimoy. He even casually omits his first wife's name from the identical anecdotes he rehashes. In many ways, he truly is Spock in eschewing the emotional and human. Stick with the tried and true "behind the scenes" tidbits despite having worn them very thin from repeated use and hope the novice reader finds them "fascinating."

Summary: Not Dr. Spock
Review: It's always fun to read books by the cast of Star Trek. Each actor brings such a unique perspective to Gene Roddenberry's creation. And Leonard Nimoy proves to be no exception to this rule. Mr. Nimoy spends a considerable portion of the book sharing interesting insights on the character of Mr. Spock. From the early days of Spock (in The Cage) to his appearances on Star Trek, The Next Generation, we see how Mr. Spock (at Mr. Nimoy's urging) gradually grows to integrate and accept his Vulcan and Human heritage. And this strangely parallels Mr. Nimoy's own acceptance of the blending of his character with himself. This book also proves interesting since it discusses other projects that Mr. Nimoy has taken on. For instance, did you know that Mr. Nimoy's directing credentials include 'Three Men and a Baby' and 'The Good Mother'? Overall, this book was well written and entertaining. Pick it up and add it to your Star Trek collection

Summary: A totally enjoyable read that made me wish it were longer!
Review: It's been said that Mr. Nimoy's book lacks the
"real dirt", the backstage problems, fights, etc.,
that seem to permeate similar "behind-the-scenes"
books. Well, the "real dirt" can be said to be in
the eye of the beholder. You won't find pages upon
pages of guttersniping because that's not what Nimoy is about. What is presented is a warm yet clear-eyed
vision of life behind Trek. He freely admits there
were ego conflicts and strained relationships yet
he does so without casting blame or condemnation. As
I read the book, I felt as if it were the closest
"objective" perspective possible (for someone who
was part of it all) that I've come across, moreso
than most of the other "inside Trek" books that seem to scream out "it was the other guy's fault."
I've always considered Nimoy to be a man of
integrity; this book bears out that impression. If
what you're really interested in are anecdotes about
the Trek series, the movies, and Leonard's non-Trek
work combined with a sense of there being two
authors (Nimoy and Spock!), then I heartily recommend this book.

Summary: VERY GOOD HISTORICAL WRITING
Review: Leonard does a wonderful job in this work and gives people the background on not only his STAR TREK life,but also his own.The title is the result of the past "I Am Not Spock" book that he did years ago (THIS IS ALSO RECOMMENDED),and is a very good follow-up work to it.Good to have even IF you are not a STAR TREK fan,but just one of Leonard's fans.

Summary: Thoughtful, fun, and (dare I say it?) fascinating
Review: Leonard Nimoy is best know as the actor that portrays Spock in the Star Trek universe. Those that follow films also know him as the director of Three Men and a Baby and The Good Mother, not to mention a couple of the ST films. This interesting biography includes a healthy dose of Spock, as indicated by the title, along with some divergences into his other acting roles and his directorial work. The time frame is from approximately the beginning of the original series to the end of his appearance in the Star Trek: the Next Generation episode entitled "Unification", where Spock appeared alongside the Enterprise D crew. As such, it is certainly a complete record of his work in the Trek universe (so far!). It is a personal autobiography, in that discussions always centre on Nimoy himself. This is a contrast to the Shatner "Star Trek Memories" books, in that Nimoy makes little attempt to explore his extended Trek family. However, we get a very candid look at Nimoy's contributions over the years, including the conflicts on the set (between the actors themselves and between the actors and the directors, writers, etc.). It is a thoughtful book, analysing the phenomenon of Trek and mulling over his place in it. His schizophrenic relationship with the Vulcan he portrays is especially highlighted (including updated versions of his dialogues, similar to those in the earlier I Am Not Spock). My only disappointment is that he spends little time on his early life and on his family life. We only hear about his parents when he discusses their passing on. He talks about working with his son on a TV show, but barely mentions his children previous to that. This is not a problem overall (presumably he means to protect his family from the publicity), just a small disappointment. Otherwise, it's highly recommended - a thoughtful and thoroughly enjoyable look into the mind Leonard Nimoy. (...)

Summary: Highly Entertaining!
Review: Leonard Nimoy's autobiography on his life on the hit television series "Star Trek" is one of the best auto-biographies I have ever read. Nimoy gives the readers an exclusive "back-stage pass" and an interesting insight on the set. Has many funny moments and serious thoughts. His conversations with "Spock" is both funny and informative on what was going on.
