5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book from a very intriguing person, 2 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: To the Stars: the Autobiography of George Takei (Star Trek (trade/hardcover)) (Paperback)
I've read most of the books from the Star Trek ensemble. I, by far, enjoy most the books that are written by the biographer his/herself, such as George Takei has done. This is a true life story, and not just another solilquy of Star Trek life. His account of his early life is particularly fascinating (to quote Mr. Spock!). His unique insight, experiences, and literary talents make this book among the best autobiographies of any type. To illustrate just how good this book is, my wife, who is not particularly a Star Trek fan, grapped up this book and read it before I could! You most definitely DO NOT need to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy this work of art.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting history of George Takei, 29 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: To the Stars: the Autobiography of George Takei (Star Trek (trade/hardcover)) (Paperback)
As would be predictable in an autobiography, this book tells a lot about George Takei that was previously unknown. Or at least was previously unknown to some of us. For example, the fact that he was sent to the Japanese-American detainment camps when he was a young boy, one in Oklahoma and one in northern California. Or that he was involved in politics as he got older and became a good friend of Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley. Or that he was not extremely fond of William Shatner, to put it mildly. All of it was quite interesting and very revealing. Quite an entertaining read and also uplifting in several parts. If Hikaru Sulu is one of your favorite characters or at least one you are interested in and you want to gain some background information on the person behind the helm, read this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bashing Bill, 5 Sep 2008
This review is from: To the Stars The auotobiography of George Takei - Star Trek's Mr Sulu (Hardcover)
It seems that being a supporting member of the original Star Trek cast is limiting to some peoples' careers. So who to blame? Why Bill Shatner of course. If not for his sabotaging of scenes and stealing of lines, then certain people would have become superstars. Yeah, right; okay. That said, this is as interesting an autobiography as you would expect it to be, considering that George was still in the closet at the time he wrote this. Apparently he is now writing a more open and honest follow up. Let's also hope that George can rise above 'Bill-Bashing' in his next effort.
