stevewhitaker 's review for:
Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship with a Remarkable Man
by William Shatner
So look, ignore the star rating. There was no way I wasn't going to read this book, and if you're a Star Trek fan who also loves Leonard Nimoy, I'm guessing you'll read it, too - regardless of reviews.
What a convoluted sentence that was.
Here's the thing: it's a book by William Shatner. It actually reads like a book *dictated* by William Shatner, which I suspect it is. So, you're gonna get your fair share of Shatner in the book - there are lots of stories that make sure you know Bill was involved in them, but not quite to the point of self-servitude.
Somebody described this book as his "love letter" to Leonard Nimoy. That's probably fair, but this also reads a little bit like a confessional - maybe as close to an apology as Shatner is capable of for being such a - well, Shatner - all those years. The stories about Nimoy are good, and I hadn't heard a lot of them before. He sounds like the remarkable man I've always suspected him to be, and hearing them made me sad that he's gone, all over again.
It's worth a read. Look past the Shatner and find the Nimoy, and you'll likely appreciate it.
