Reviews

[Bianca Klein Haneveld · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a book for the die hard Star Trek fan. It is a fun, short read, but not all the paragraphs are in the logical order and it seems like the author/editor collected a lot of information from different sources and copy/pasted it in this document. It does give an authentical feel though - as a Budget Traveller's Guide might also in real life be copy/paste. Maybe I should rate this higher, but after about the halfway point my attention started to waver and I was not totally committed to what in essence seems like an elaborate joke.
