Welcome to Litsy!

🎧 A weenie bit self-serving BUT heartfelt.

Biography, memoir, fan service.

Shatner‘s narration was wonderful. They had a long history that began before Trek. There are many interesting stories from their 50 year friendship.

So many details including how mind melds, live long & prosper & the Vulcan nerve pinch came about. 😁

I wish there were a few more personal stories but all in all I enjoyed this book. Nimoy was a nice man.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

I could imagine William Shattner speaking as I read this, so that was fun. Nobody will accuse Shattner of being a great writer, but this is still a lovely book written about his dear friend whom he loved dearly. It was a nice tribute and good to learn more about the behind the scenes life of Nimoy.

I loved this book. It focused a lot on the original star trek series and how that shaped the relationship between Leonard Nimoy and Shatner. I think I may have missed some details as a result of listening the majority of the time on my commute but I enjoyed it. I will probably read the physical book at some point.

Haven't posted in a while. I've been crazy busy with work. But I started this audio book this week. I am one of the few people who like both Star Wars and Star Trek so this could be eye-opening.

Audiobook
You know.... I feel like I learned more about Shatner than I did about Nimoy in thist story. And maybe, knowing that Shatner wrote this book, I should've known that would be the case. But I did learn some intersting things about Star Trek and these two men, and with the close of this book, I'm left wishing I could've known Leonard Nimoy personally.

I can't even fit all of my nightstand pile in one photo... oops. Not Pictured: Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag, Anna and the Swallow Man by Gavriel Savit, and the Hummingbird's Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea.

I can't believe that it's been two years since we lost this man! I miss Mr. Spock! 🖖🏻

#CurrentlyListening to #Leonard by #williamShatner - thought this sounded interesting and their friendship from Shatner's POV

I recommended this to anyone who is a fan of both Shatner and Nimoy. I think to enjoy this, you have to understand a little about them going into this. The positives: Shatner has a genuine affection for Nimoy that comes across. This feels a little like a love letter to his friend. Shatner seems to understand his own flaws a little better as he is getting older, and he can be self-deprecating in a good way. Review continued in comments.

Christmas book # 6

I 💚 Star Trek and Spock and Leonard Nimoy.

🖖🏼#LLAP

I really loved this biography about Leonard Nimoy. It was definitely written with great care, appreciation and love by a lifelong friend and that definitely came through in William Shatner's storytelling. I learned some things about this incredible man's career and personality. And although I grew up in the "Next Generation" era of Star Trek, I've definitely been on the Mr. Spock band wagon lol. #LLAP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started this last night and was feeling super emotional and appreciative of my own besties xo #Beautiful

My kid and Captain Kirk.

My teenaged Trekkie sales force, ready to fill the need if you need something for Shatner to sign.

50 copies of "Leonard" by William Shatner in my living room that I agreed to sell tomorrow at the Star Trek Convention to people who want William Shatner to sign a copy, because ...

Well, I don't know why I'm doing half of the things I do most days.

Space, the final frontier... My Trekkie is showing! I'm so psyched to see Star Trek Beyond tonight! Mr. Nimoy brought my childhood hero to life and I am heartbroken that he is not here to witness Star Trek's 50th. Even so, "Leonard" is a heartwarming memoir written by another Trek legend about the incredible man who gave Mr. Spock life. For more fond memories of the man and the character you should also pick up "I Am Spock" by Nimoy himself.

So I'm a huge Trekkie fan, I get it from my Dad, who just texted me the other day and said only "Star Trek 22 days!!" Reading this book is almost like reading about a familiar home. I've read both Shatners other Star Trek memoirs so I'm used to his writing. It's a very nice book about an amazing man

Yup I'm the girl that brings a book to Comic Con from home to sign. By the way great read if you are a devoted Trekkie like I am.

Shatner can't resist talking about himself but it still works. There is a deep and respectful friendship here and nothing but gratitude for having known and loved the man.

'Leonard' would've benefited from a heavier editorial hand, but it's a worthwhile read. Shatner's genuine affection shines through in this recounting of their famous friendship & his audiobook narration works well w/the book's conversational tone. I found myself moved nearly to tears more than once.

I'm a lifelong Star Trek fan and an admirer of Leonard Nimoy, both professionally and personally, so picking this audiobook up at half price in the Audible members sale (50% off everything through midnight 4/18) was a no brainer. Shatner's narrations are always a treat so I'm ready to get started!

He is so missed! Ready to take a look at this amazing friendship.
