Publisher's summary

Best known to the world as the actor who created the legendary Mr. Spock in the cult television series that launched the Star Trek phenomenon, Leonard Nimoy has written the definitive Star Trek memoir. In this long-awaited autobiography, Nimoy opens up to his fans in ways the Vulcan never could.

Having played the pivotal role of Mr. Spock in the original series, in six motion pictures, and in a special two-part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as having directed two of the movies, Nimoy is well suited to tell the true story behind what was seen by the public. He provides an intelligent and insightful book about the creative process and the actor's craft - and gives his own unique insider's view of the creation of both the character, Mr. Spock, and the Star Trek phenomenon.

THE VOYAGE HOME

I am not one to go gaga over an actor or an athlete. I have to admit that I kind of go dreamy eyed over Star Trek. Alright, I will admit I am a Trekkie. In Fantasy Football my team is The Klingons. The five year mission that ended at three years is an intriguing story. There were lots of rumors that surrounded the ending of the series and it is nice to get NImoy's version of it. The book is funny and entertaining. I had no idea of all the things that happen behind the scenes of a TV series and the making of movies. Some things were enlightening. Most of the book got me excited about reading Shatner and Roddenberry's bio.

If you are a Trekkie, this is a must read. Inspiring actors might be interested, as their is much here on agents, directing and what it takes to get a job and keep it.

It was great to hear Nimoy's voice again.

A life lived long...

This was a great reunion with an old and missed friend made even better in hearing his voice sharing his adventure.
I love this book.

Leonard Nimoy is great

it's a good story and moving at times. It's nice to know a little bit about mr. Nimoy and his struggles with mr. Spock. I enjoyed learning how he came to deal with it.

A very very unique man

I always thought that Leonard Nimoy unique person with a lot of talent. He will always be remembered as the man who brought Spock life.

Stunning, Logical, Fasinating.......

Would you consider the audio edition of I Am Spock to be better than the print version?

I would only say no because it is abridged. But to hear Mr. Nimoy reading, is worth it no matter what.

What did you like best about this story?

Simply hearing his thoughts about everything in his own voice was simply wonderful.

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

This was my first book read by Mr. Nimoy. It made me feel sad that this wonderful man has left us.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

An amazing journey.....

Any additional comments?

To be able to hear Mr. Nimoy talking about his experiences in life was without a doubt, a joy for me. His presence will be missed but I can't help but feel sad that I never had the pleasure or honor to meet with this wonderful man and warm hearted human being. This is a fantastic audio book.
