Fan Fiction: A Mem-Noir: Inspired by True Events by Brent Spiner
3.75
Rating: 3.75 stars
Oh, that was hilarious. Who knew Data could be so funny. Why did it take me so long to get to it? Or, more accurately, why did it take me so long to realise it existed?! It was right in my face, being written by Brent Spiner himself AND being nominated for the 2021 Goodreads Choice Awards which I voted in. How on earth did this slip under my radar?!
Fan Fiction: A Mem-Noir: Inspired by True Events is so compulsively readable, I was going to take notes, but I just could not turn away from this book! I even had something pretty big on the day I started reading, and was planning to finish it the next day, so I put it down... and picked it straight back up again!
There was a blip in my enjoyment, though, and it brought it down from 4 stars to 3.75 - sexy stuff. I get that it was mostly played for laughs and irony, but it did take over a little bit too much page time for my liking. But it didn't effect my rating too much in the end.
The audiobook was 1000% worth it. I mean, anything narrated by Gates McFadden, LeVar Burton, Brent Spiner, Patrick Stewart, and Jonathan Frakes among many others will equal amazingness. I'm not usually into full cast dramatic audiobooks, (because at 3.5x speed all the sound effects are very strange) but for this book, it is all made up for by the absolutely star-studded line up.
(Oh my word. I am half watching the rugby while writing this and accidentally wrote "star-studded line out" instead of "line up".)
