5.0 out of 5 stars The best of all the Star Trek video novelizations, June 12, 2010

This review is from: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Mass Market Paperback)

"Star Trek IV" remains my favorite Star Trek movie of all time, the combination of humor, social message and action make it a great story. This book is an excellent novelization of the movie, McIntyre captures the events with just the right amount of poetic license in converting the on-screen action into words. In my opinion, this is the best literary adaptation of any Star Trek video, if you pay very close attention you will recognize some differences between the book and the movie, but in my opinion, they only serve to make the book better.

4.0 out of 5 stars A visit with old friends, February 5, 2006

By 

Nina M. Osier (Randolph, ME USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek IV The Voyage Home (Mass Market Paperback)

Why did I enjoy this more than any of the other Star Trek movies? Probably because it's got all of the elements I love. Kirk and McCoy trying to relate to Spock, and Spock too puzzled by his Human half to help them much - if at all. Humor. A feisty, intelligent "love interest" who actually has a key plot-driving role, in Dr. Gillian Taylor. Sarek. And, at the end...oh, never mind. Just in case there's someone left who may want to read the book, or see the film, without already knowing the ending - no, I wouldn't spoil it for worlds.

So the science doesn't make a lot of sense. It often didn't in the original Trek, on TV. The plot premise and execution worked well enough to let me temporarily suspend my disbelief when I first saw "The Voyage Home" on the big screen, and I found that unchanged when I finally read the novelization. So the humor's lame at times. It still felt to me like a visit with old friends, and that's really what I'm looking for in a Star Trek story. On screen, or between book covers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A adventure for all ages, December 3, 2003

By 

Mary (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek IV The Voyage Home (Mass Market Paperback)

It is even better then the movie. It has all the elements of a classic Star Trek episode, with Capt. Kirk falling in love with a beautiful young women, the crew dealing with a different time periode, MR.Spock and Dr.McCoy going at it like an old married couple.......And there are the Klingons, a major threat to Earth, and, of crouse, the whales... Who wouldn't like this book?
