1.0 out of 5 stars A dull story, March 25, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mystery of the Missing Crew (Paperback)

I didn't like this story because it was kind of misleading.And it's not because Data's a cadet. The story didn't have data's personality that much. . The story was just a bit boring but it did have the planet where data was discovered. Over all it was an okay book.

Why do all of these Star Trek author keep coming up with new races of the Federation. In this book they just look like Deltans with lines on their heads. How cheesy!

I LIKED THIS BOOK VERY MUCH, IT SHOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT WHATTHEY SEEM TO BE, AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEINGAFRAID. POSSITIVE THINKING, AND GOOD DETECTIVE WORK LEADS THIS STORY TO MAKING NEW FRIENDS, AND DISCOVERING A DANGEROUS AREA OF SPACE, AND PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO BE ALONE. DATA DOES A GREAT JOB OF FIGUIRING OUT EVERYTHING, AND TAKES ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS HUMANITY.
