Review: Leonard Nimoy's I am Spock is a great book. Learn all about how this actor first approached the role of Mr. Spock. His experience both directing and staring in the Star Trek movies, and his thoughts on how his life has been in the post-Star Trek years.

Summary: A gentleman's review of a "fascinating" life.
Review: Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek tales are gentler, more forgiving versions of the stories told by William Shatner in the Shatner "Memories" books. "I Am Spock" is an entertainging piece, perhaps a bit 'jumpy' in places, flashing forward and backward between Star Trek events and Nimoy's other works, and repeats much of the tales in his earlier book - but it was difficult for me to find much fault with this volume. What I did find interesting was that, while Mr. Shatner's stories often show Mr. Nimoy as a tough businessman, with the "f"-word peppering his direct quotes, the Mr. Nimoy in "I Am Spock" seems more reserved and gentlemanly. Which is the truer? No matter. Mr. Nimoy's modesty shines softly throughout this book. He's obviously very (multi) talented in all facets of his art, and it's a pity the original Star Trek series didn't extend him the opportunity to direct, or create, or produce as he did in later years - then the Enterprise would have definitely fulfilled its 5-year mission, rather than only 3. Bottom Line: A good read, especially for the Star Trek / Nimoy / Spock fan - but don't expect anything intringing, new, or shocking. This is the grandfatherly Nimoy talking, and his memories all seem to be fond ones.

Summary: You are Spock!
Review: Mr Nimoy is a highly talented individual in multiple aspects. I started liking his work even before I became a fan of Star Trek (3 man and a baby for example). In this book he is funny and full of "behind the scene" anecdotes, which were all presented in a "true-but-gentle" manner, and never any finger pointing accusation of anyone or anything. He is one of the few people I can envision beyond Star Trek and not wonder what is "Spock" doing in something completely irrelevant, although of course Mr Spock will always be my favourite character. I really enjoyed the book, and am now very curious to read the first book "I am not Spock"

Summary: long deserved book
Review: Nimoy gave us a great story in this book, written in a simple and direct style (but not cheap nor vulgar), tgalking about his career as an actor, screenwriter and director. It's veryg rateful to know how someone with strenght of character may suceed, even being the son of poor Russian parents. He put an end to rumours that said that he and Shatner hated each other.

Summary: A Wonderful Read
Review: Nimoy's well thought and witty accounts of his conversations with himself and his pointy-eared counterpart were absolutely wonderful. I learned more about the actor himself but instead of losing sight of his character I became more sure of his existence somewhere inside Leonard Nimoy. I loved Spock even more after reading this book. Being only a mediocre fan of the original Star Trek to begin with this book catapulted me to a new level. Leonard Nimoy is just as captivating writing as himself as he is in an acting role.

Summary: I Generally Liked it
Review: Not as good as Shatner's book but still a must read for all fans of Star Trek. There is a lot of interesting behind the scenes info and numerous scene descriptions in both Star Trek and some of Nimoy's directed films that will have me looking out for things that Nimoy discussed. We find out that Nimoy was misjudged by the public for his apparent dislike for the Spock role after his I Am Not Spock book. The only drawbacks to the book were that Nimoy discusses virtually nothing of his life before acting (maybe a short chapter) and an annoying on-going dialogue between himself and the Spock character that appears through-out the book. Other than these two drawbacks, the book is excellent!
