3.0 out of 5 stars It does not capture the thrill, tension and excitement of the movie, although no book could, May 6, 2008

This review is from: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Photostory (Paperback)

This book is one of those that will appeal primarily and almost exclusively to the very dedicated Star Trek fan. There is little doubt that the movie, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" did a great deal to prime the Star Trek phenomenon. After the lackluster style of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", the dynamic action and tension of "WoK" set the stage for the remaining series of movies and the "genesis" of the television series "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
No book could possibly capture the action of "WoK", and this one is no exception. The series of black and white stills accompanied with clips of the dialog cannot in any way do justice to the thrill of the movie. Therefore, it is hard to get excited about it and the only way I could was to go back and relive the movie scenes in my mind as I was reading the book.
