Summary

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner first crossed paths as actors on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Little did they know that their next roles, in a new science-fiction television series called Star Trek, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated.

In 79 television episodes and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine.

Over the course of half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows. In this powerfully emotional book, Shatner tells the story of a man who was his friend for five decades, recounting anecdotes and untold stories of their lives on and off set as well as gathering stories from others who knew Nimoy well, to present a full picture of a rich life.

As much a biography of Nimoy as a story of their friendship, Leonard is a uniquely heartfelt book written by one legendary actor in celebration of another.

Read aloud by William Shatner, this audiobook is a deeply felt tribute to friendship.

Thoroughly enjoyable. The first hour is hard work if you're not familiar with the story of the American television revolution of the 50s and 60s but it's worth sticking with it. Overall it's a beautiful story of one man's life and career as told by a good friend who wanted us all to understand him a little better. I'd recommend this to Trekkies, aspiring actors or people who just love a well-crafted biography. :-)

Slow start, wonderful finish.

That quote from the 2nd Star Trek film sums up the 50 year relationship between Shatner and Nimoy. This book affectionately brings two lives together, in honest revelation and memory.

I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did.
I was curious about Leonard Nimoy's life, but hadn't really realised about any friendship or tensions between Shatner and Nimoy. There seem to be some scathing comments about Shatner from former Star Trek colleagues, but he comes across as sincere and earnest in his respect for his long standing friend and colleague 'Spock'. I grew to like both Nimoy and Shatner, especially Shatner's very relaxed, ambling style of narration.
If you're even vaguely interested in these people, you should listen to it.

Fascinating!
