The Motion Picture: A Life Story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Star Trek Movie 1): Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Mass Market Paperback)
I agree with Joe's comments. This book has changed my life so much, that I find myself helping all men. I was once a conservative, this book transformed me into a liberal, for it shows all men as they should be -- working together for the Common Good. I joined the Peace Corps and I wear V-Neck jump-suits made of spandex. I have my own personal pleasure room. Just like Spock..... Thank you Gene, I hope when we meet in the future, we can have some of those experiences you always dreamed about.

The Motion Picture The Book is better that you'd think,
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Star Trek Movie 1): Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Mass Market Paperback)
Now you'd think a movie novelization usually isn't very good and with the title Star Trek: The Motion Picture The Book most would stear clear. However, this is a book every Star Trek fan (especially TOS) should read. The majority of fans I know look at The Motion Picture as a very boring movie (or story). When the directors cut was released I bought it and realized this story embodies many of Star Trek's biggest motifs. Yes, it isn't an action movie but it is very deep and the book adds so much to both the story and the over all Star Trek universe as seen by Gene Roddenberry. If this guy says it's canon, who can argue. Some of the coolest additions were the alien ruins from an unknown race found on the moon, all flag officers in the Federation have a brain implant communicator for emergencies and when Admiral Kirk refects on a TV show called "Star Trek" created (inaccurately) so all the people of the United Federation of Planets can watch Kirks legendary 5 year mission explains why the show looks fake. I mean we all go along with it but deep down we all know the future doesn't look like cardboard painted red with flashy lights on them. Another point to this fact is ST II: TWOK, where Khan has a Starfleet logo around a chain around his neck. A logo that didn't exist in TOS TV series. Aluding to the fact that things were a little more realistic that previously envisioned.

Better than sex,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Star Trek Movie 1): Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved it. It was great. It was wondeful. it was stupendious, exciting, marvelous, beautiful, terrific. Grand in its scope; terrifying in it's beauty. ; complex in its simplicity. Light-years ahead of it's time. Roddenberry's masterwork. Thought-provoking. This book satisfies the mind, the spirit, the body. You will rememeber this book for all of eternity. After you read this book, you will read no other. it will make you illiterate. This book has inspired me to create art, as it will inspire you to find you to find symphonies in your soul. Gene Roddenberry, God rest his soul, I owe you an eternal debt of gratitiude
