Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship with a Remarkable Man
by William Shatner
It's easy to hear a lot of negative things about William Shatner - from coworkers or fans or whoever - and I have no reason to believe that they are untrue. That said, if there is one thing that has been clear about William Shatner for several years it has been how much he obviously cares about Leonard Nimoy, and genuinely considers him his best friend.
This book is basically a love letter to their friendship. A lot of the information is taken from other sources, such as Nimoy's I Am Spock or interviews people gave, so if you read about these people regularly, not much will be new. Shatner also jumps around chronologically several times - you think you've moved on from the 1960s TV show and suddenly we're back and talking about it. But he also writes with an emotional honesty that is touching.
TL;DR: You probably won't learn much of anything new in this book, but if you enjoy Star Trek, and reading about/from the actors who brought the characters to life, this is definitely a worthy addition to your collection.
