Critic reviews

Praise for Shatner Rules

“This book is an utter delight. It is, literally, laugh-out-loud funny. The stories are full of twists that are at times surreal—like having Henry Rollins and Rush Limbaugh together at a football party in Bill’s house. Shatner Rules is a light, clever, witty book that is all about enjoying life from the perspective of a now eighty-year-old man with fascinating stories to tell… this is a great read.”—Portland Book Review

“The galaxy's most famous starship captain offers a mostly tongue-in-cheek guide to his rules for living, complete with anecdotes and life lessons. Eighty years old and still going strong with multiple TV shows, films, books and appearances…Shatner's lust for life shines through… Whatever the situation--be it an awkward dinner with Charlton Heston or a fight to the death with a wild boar—Shatner applies his rules as only he can…[his] fans will relish the opportunity to learn from the master.”—Kirkus Reviews

Funny, smart, charming. I like Shatner I think his self inflating slightly egotistical personality is hilarious. His life stories are funny. If you like him, you'll love the book.

If you love Shatner, you'll love the book.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

As a Stark Trek fan, and having only read about his voice style, I wanted to personally listen to his voice in an audiobook. The content wasn't all that interesting, except for some short stories, but Shatner's reading of the book was the main drawcard for me.

What was most disappointing about William Shatner and Chris Regan ’s story?

Some parts sounded repetitive and similar to others.

Good for listening to Shatner's voice.

This was really enjoyable. Laugh out loud funny and excellently narrated by Bill.

It also had great life lessons - #1 always say yes to opportunities - you never know where they will lead.

A Great Listen

Would you listen to Shatner Rules again? Why?

Very entertaining and surprisingly touching as well. Have always enjoyed his performances, but now admire him as a man as well. Bravo, Bill

Shatner always rules

I was thoroughly impressed by “Bill’s” ability to swoop me up into his stories with his spot-on timing and voice fluctuation (the quotes signify the fact I consider him to be my friend—which will make sense to you when you listen to this humorously candid 100% enjoyable audiobook). Bravo, Bill! Age is a state of mind, you are still 19 yrs old and will live forever!

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.

Shatner Rules!

Would you recommend Shatner Rules to your friends? Why or why not?

Not all of them. It's different.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Good job there

Was Shatner Rules worth the listening time?

Uuuuuuummmm no, I don't think so

Any additional comments?

Not as great as I had hoped

A little disappointing

Would you consider the audio edition of Shatner Rules to be better than the print version?

Yes, nothing beats listening to Shatner Rules being narrated by Shatner. It wouldn't be the same if read by someone else.

What about William Shatner’s performance did you like?

He's Shatner! 'Nuff said.

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

Come live in Shatner's World!

Very entertaining

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

A 12th power Shatner experience

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.
