A review by millikat
The Autobiography of James T. Kirk by David A. Goodman

5.0

I was not expecting this to become the best book I've read this year, but it was marvelous. It's a highly enjoyable and well-paced book told in short anecdotes, some of which are new or recognizable from TOS media. However, at the heart of it all is always an emotional rationale or explanation that is often not explicit from watching TOS media but "connects the dots" beautifully. Plus, it has all the humorous moments, hijinks, and action of TOS. I am a new TOS fan who has not yet seen all the episodes, so this is enjoyable with background episodic context and even without!
