 Quite funny, if not for uber-fanboys July 27, 2007

You need to know the series fairly well to get some of the jokes, and the humor and many references are decidedly British, but I had a lot of fun with this book. br / br /Some folk who take Star Trek a mite too seriously take offense to this book, so if you have no stomach for a) irreverence and b) the Brits, you might not enjoy this. br / br /Otherwise, I found it a gentle jab at the "revered science fiction cash cow" we've come to love (until Voyager).
 If only Star Trek Had this much humor... August 20, 2005

I am a trekkie/er in my own right, and I seriously disagree with anything bad that has been said about this book. This is a fantastic romp through the trek universe with a whole bunch of brits willing to make fun of themselves and others for something they like a whole hell of a lot. The stories of how things were cancelled and naysayed and how people act about star trek in general are spoofed wonderfully here. All of you who didn't find it funny, surely don't have a sense of humor about yourselves and the show and should lighten up. But if you like to laugh, or get a good chuckle from turning a phrase, this is a fun book. enjoy it!

The only thing I agree with is the title, this book is a completely useless piece of ****!! all the parodies and jokes made no sense to me, thank god I didn't buy it instead borrowed it from a friend and he too says it was a complete waste of time and money..

If you are a Star Trek fan, you will either love this book, or hate it. This should be obvious from the reviews already posted, which seem to almost invariably give the book either 1 or 5 stars. The reason for this is that the book is hilariously funny, but has a wickedly mean sense of humor. Therefor, if you take your fandom very seriously, DO NOT READ THIS, as it will cause irreparable psychological dammage! If, on the other hand, you are able to laugh at Trek as well as your own geekdom, then by all means DO READ IT! But procede with caution, as you may find yourself incapacitated with laughter.

This is the best Star Trek book ever. Do not buy if you are a sad person with no sense of humor.
