cleverbaggins 's review for:
Willful Child
by Steven Erikson
A Starship Captain raised on Kirk
So I have a confession. I don't enjoy parody fiction. I've tried and I can see the cleverness in it and get excited every time I find a new one, but when I'm reading it I just don't enjoy it. It's too much for me. Over the top and feels more like making fun of things I love.
Don't ask me why, I enjoy it in other forms, just not fiction.
All that aside, I did like this book. Its an easy read, fast paced and quick. Its about a starship captain who was raised on all the things we have been. Kirk and Buck Rogers and all the best and worst of tv. He thinks he's invincible, all women should be hit on and that rules don't apply to him.
Honestly I would've likely loved this in any other format but to me it just reads...mean.
So certainly try it if you like parody and Star Trek. I can pick lines randomly in the book and just laugh every time.
