The back of this book is correct: "It makes us laugh, it makes us smile, but most of all, it makes us think". Star Trek was and still is a phenomenon that does not die. And the most important aspect of it was the message it got accross, what was being said. This book puts together all the best quotes, plus ones that I never really thought about until I saw them in here. Sometimes when I watched the shows I never really realized the subtle importance of a line of dialogue. When I read this, it showed me. Most of the book can be picked up and read by anyone, but the last three chapters or so are for the fans. Especially the one that is called "For the Fans". I constantly pick up this book, open to any random page, and start reading. I suggest this to any fan, and to anyone who likes to think. It is truly great. And, like it says, "The Human Adventure is Just Beginning" (text superimposed at the end of The Motion Picture).

This is a book for a quiet moment in the shade under a tree, or for reading outloud to others that are well versed in Star Trek as well. Picking bits and pieces (why start at the beginning, just open it somewhere in the middle and see where it takes you) I relived scenes, and refreshed my memory. Sometimes I went inside to review some tapes that I was reminded of by the book.
If your not very familiar with Star Trek this book is not the best way to begin. Some of the quotes are spiced by the scenes they were in. They loose flavour taken out of context, especially if you're not familiar with the context at all. But if you, like me, can hair the voices, this book has some gems to offer. I'll just quote one, OK? Garak and O'Brien in DS9/Empok Nor
"Well it's just that lately, I've noticed everybody seems to ... trust me. It's quite unnerving. I'm still trying to get used to it. Next thing I know, people are going to be inviting me to their homes for dinner." - - - - - - "Well if it makes you feel better, I promise I will never have you over." - - - - - - "I appreciate that, Chief"
Just one thing: please, please, write an update with more Voyager

I very much enjoyed this book. The author has sifted through 32 years of Star Trek history, and found the most memorable, and touching words contained therein. The book even included a quote that was never mentioned in all of Star Trek, "Beam me up Scotty." I also like the way the author divided the book into different chapters, defining what Star Trek is, and what it has been. I look forward to some kind of sequel.

"I'm so vulnerable to her...all she has to do is smile atme and I'm happy beyond reason. A minor disagreement between us andI'm devasted...it's absurd! Sometimes I wish I could reach inside myself and tear out my feelings for her. But I can't" Odo to female shapeshifter, on Kira. I'm a hopeless romantic, and I was thrilled when I found that quote! Its my favorite! But it was hard to choose a favorite because the whole book is great. Some of the quotes can remind of the show, or even of your own life. You don't have to like Star Trek to enjoy it (though it helps).

This is a really great book. There is a wide range of quotes. Some are funny while other are thoughtful. I have found this book to be an invaluable book for writing essays with a personal touch and for my speech tournaments. U.S. and Foreign Extemp. speakers should really buy this book.
