5.0 out of 5 stars
Great novelization!,
By K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (Cape Girardeau, MO United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Encounter at Farpoint (Star Trek: The Next Generation) (Mass Market Paperback)
David Gerrold did a wonderful job with the novelization of the episode that started The Next Generation! After purchasing the first season of TNG on DVD and watching Encounter at Farpoint I thought it would be interesting to go back and read this book again. If you want to get the few details of episode that weren't in it, read this. This is the Genesis of Star Trek The Next Generation!

This review is from: Encounter at Farpoint (Star Trek: The Next Generation) (Mass Market Paperback)
A good book, which copies the TV episode closely, with a few additional scenes. A good book to start with for all TNG newbies, if there is such a thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's where it all begun for TNG,
By
This review is from: Encounter at Farpoint (Star Trek: The Next Generation) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's a good book, you get the chance to read what was going through some characters's minds but in this case, it is better just to watch the Episode. It's a classical... where it all begun.
