I AM SPOCK

As himself and his Vulcan alter ego, the author reads this memoir, a fascinating look at Nimoy's life, work and the well-known character who affected both. Listeners need not be "Star Trek" fans; a lot here deals with the universal topics of the creative process and self-integration. Nimoy gives a superlative performance, and the production has the feel of chatting with a friend. The abridgment captures the tone and flavor of the book, hitting all the important points. This work is an ideal choice for audio. One hears Nimoy's "conversations" with Spock, and the frank style of the book is well conveyed in his easy style of narration. M.A.M.
