Read these in the library at lunch time in grade eight hiding from my tormentors. (A lifetime and five minutes ago.)

It's still a quick and zippy read, but it's just not as good as the first two. This is basically down to the episodes covered here which, with a couple of exceptions, are as a whole not particularly strong. There's "The Trouble with Tribbles" and "Mirror, Mirror" which are the stand-outs, but they can't really make up for "Assignment: Earth" or "Friday's Child", which were painful even in the original form. With the best will in the world Blish can't make them seem any less stupid, though in fairness he does try.

I loved this book. Star Trek is one if my favorite shows and I've recently started rewatching it from the beginning. The tribbles are one if my favorite and I'm so glad that that episode was included in this book! The dynamics between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are perfect on and off screen. Finding this slim little used collection of short stories for $2 has been the best part of my summer so far :)
