savageknight 's review for:
Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship with a Remarkable Man
by William Shatner
I'm not certain what I was hoping for in this book; perhaps a bit of understanding of the relationship between Shatner and Nimoy? The book reads as though Shatner is sitting with the reader and just talking talking talking. The order is simple enough in that it tries to follow what was going on with both men during the years with some insights into what each was doing and sometimes thinking. Kind of like a he-said/she-said but told in a Shatner-says "mode".
I wanted to read through the book as quickly as I could but think the best way would probably have been with a bit of a break between chapters. In that fashion, re-reading som topics that get repeated would not have felt like it got in the way of the story's/stories' flow. (If anything made this book sometimes feel like a ramble it is during these points). I guess it would make a decent audio book, though.
Did I learn a bit more about Nimoy? Yes. A bit more about Shatner? Not really. Did my opinions change about either of them as creators or men? Nope.
