A review by lararoper
Dancing Barefoot by Wil Wheaton
4.0
I’m usually not a fan of memoirs, if I read one it will be via audio and narrated by the author.
I picked this up because I thought it was going to be short stories written by Wil with a sci-if twist. I’ll also preface by saying I’ve never watched Star Trek or followed Wil’s journey.
The first four stories were fine, but the last story was by far my favourite. As someone who works in film, I know the nostalgia of working on a show for a year and then it disbanding. Everyone goes their separate ways, and what once was a meaningful and fun environment suddenly ceases to exist. Wil was able to capture the truth in how after a time you tend to remember more of the negative and forget the positive.
Thank you Wil for putting it into words.
