4.0 out of 5 stars I like it

I like it but can be pretty certain it was dictated. Then cleaned by the ghostwriter. And who is writing what?

A lot of stories. I just don’t get impression a lot of time was spent on it.

For what it is, I get it. I even like it. But this book has not been sweated and fretted over and whittled down

5.0 out of 5 stars I received a copy from NetGalley; this is my honest review. #LiveLongAnd... #NetGalley

-This is a very good book. I found it sad at first when he talked about his need to be loved, his wives, the ridiculousness of one's reaction to simple noise when a marriage is shaky (1st wife: I can't take the clicking of the dog's nails on the linoleum floor).
-Then he talked about his passions - everyone should have passions and he's right about that. Passion for what you love doing, eating, etc. Up until the end he will indulge in his passions, giving them up one by one because of age (such as skiing).
-He goes through difficult subjects such as religion and atheism, beliefs and principles, friendship, retirement, and death.
-Sad and funny, serious at times, overall truthful and inspiring, but always emotional (without the tears). I love William Shatner!

One of the best books I’ve read. I’m a huge Trekkie and read anything I can get my hands on when it comes to Star Trek. Especially from the actors - it’s very interesting to hear stories of things that happened whilst on set with the TV series and of course the movies.

It’s a well known fact that the rest of the crew - bar Leonard Nimoy - didn’t get on with William Shatner. This was mostly down to his ego and pinching lines etc.

In this book William Shatner explains why this was, how he grew up needing the attention of women because of the issues with his mother and the fact he was a loner in general.

At 87 years of age there’s always some piece of useful advice you can take off someone who’s been alive that long. William Shatner gives his advice on life - what to hold dear - and what actually doesn’t matter, even though at the time you think it does.

I’ve laughed aloud throughout the book as he inputs his usual comedic style. A great book from a man with many flaws who rightly admits to those flaws.

Superb.

You would have to be a fan to like this book, he goes on and on with very repetitive phrases
If you want to know his philosophy on life, then this is for you - otherwise boredom soon sinks in
