Shatner Rules!

Perfect book to pass along the time on a road trip. There was only one chapter I could have done without (the one read entirely in a different language). Overall this book was a complete delight. There is something comfortable about Shatner's voice and his sense of humor never fails to amuse. Highly recommended.

Very entertaining

Come live in Shatner's World!

A 12th power Shatner experience

Just great listening to Shatner talk about... Shatner! Trek, comedy roast, Hooker, family, and everything before after and in between.

Took The Long Way Home To Listen Longer

Even better than his last book - best part is Shatner's narration. I devoured listening to this book - couldn't stop. Took the long way home just so I could listen longer. Amazing awesome book - Shatner is the man.

I love hearing him narrate his books. He has a warm, distinct voice that brings the book to life in an effortlessly comedic way. It's a real treat.

the way Shatner expressed his ideas is really original. as if he is just talking to me. very funny at times. there are some serious part but most is interesting.

Who was your favorite character and why?

him... lots of experiences in life.

Have you listened to any of William Shatner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

it made me smile at times. this is especially rare.

Any additional comments?

I like the way Shatner empathise on certain parts of the book. Unlike OTHER books that i have downloaded, he knows. I just wish some books that i get from audible.com have narrators that know WHEN AND WHEN NOT TO emphasise, give emotions and DO NOT SOUND MONOTONE....

Entertaining and sometimes inspiring romp

Worth a listen. Shatner is an entertaining, witty and clever fellow who has achieved a lot in his long life. Some of his 'behind the scenes' stories are interesting to fans of his work and his optimism and character shines through the book well. To write and then perform a work like this after turning 80 is a remarkable feat in itself and he deserves your credit based on that alone.

Having said that though, don't expect this book to change your life. It'll put a smile on your dial and maybe put an extra spring in your step a few times but this is geared towards entertainment, not therapy. Overall I have no regrets about buying it.

Shatner Rules Indeed

Many have wondered if this guy takes himself seriously. This audiobook proves it doesn't matter because either way it is funny as hell! If it was read by anyone else though it would have been worthless. So good thing they got Shat to read Shat. While listening I shat my pants many times.
