Synopsis
Wil Wheaton--blogger, geek, and Star Trek: The Next Generation's Wesley Crusher--gives us five short-but-true tales of life in the so-called Space Age in Dancing Barefoot. With a true geek's unflinching honesty, Wil examines life, love, the web, and the absurdities of Hollywood in these compelling autobiographical narratives. Based on pieces first published in Wil's hugely popular blog, www .wilwheaton.net, the stories in Dancing Barefoot chronicle a teen TV star's journey to maturity and self-acceptance. Far from the usual celebrity tell-all, Dancing Barefoot is a vivid account of one man's version of that universal story, the search for self. If you've ever fallen in love, wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a Star Trek convention, or thought hard about the meaning of life, you'll find a kindred soul in the pages of Dancing Barefoot. In the process of uncovering his true geeky self, Wil Wheaton speaks to the inner geek in all of us. The stories: Houses in Motion - Memories fill the emptiness left within a childhood home, and saying goodbye brings them to life.

Ready Or Not Here I Come - A game of hide-n-seek with the kids works as a time machine, taking Wil on a tour of the hiding and seeking of years gone by. Inferno - Two 15-year-olds pass in the night leaving behind pleasant memories and a perfumed Car Wars Deluxe Edition Box Set. We Close Our Eyes - A few beautiful moments spent dancing in the rain. The Saga of SpongeBob VegasPants - A story of love, hate, laughter and the acceptance of all things Trek.

About the Author
Wil Wheaton may be one of the most unusual celebrities of our time. Born into stardom with the movie "Stand By Me", and then growing up on television as Wesley Crusher on "Star Trek: The Next Generation", Wil was in the spotlight nearly his entire childhood. Instead of burning out as a child star, he left fame behind and became a computer specialist in what Hollywood might consider the middle of nowhere: Topeka, Kansas.

Now, Wil considers himself "just a geek", and both Dancing Barefoot and the forthcoming biography Just a Geek are about his journey in rediscovering himself and coming to terms with what it means to be famous, or, ironically, famous for being previously famous.

If you like to read stories of real emotion you'll love this book from an approachable writer. I look forward to reading more of his work in the future.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

To those of you who only know him as Wesley Crusher from Star Trek TNG you are in for a big surprise!. The stories are from the heart and, if you’re a Star Trek fan, will make you think. But, ultimately these five true short stories will make you feel good and laugh.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   Short, but sweet, 7 May 2004 By  E. Chittenden "emchi" (London, UK) - See all my reviews    I read Wil Wheaton's blog, it's amusing but also reasonably interesting. I thought I'd take a look at this book and think I read it in about 2 hours. It was light hearted, amusing and sad at the same time. I am aware that these were the left overs from his book Just A Geek which is in the process of being published. Shame they didn't make the cut, but at least it gave something to read before the main event so to speak.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
