First time in trade paperback: the memoir by the late Leonard Nimoy, best remembered for his portrayal as everyone's favorite Vulcan, Spock, in Star Trek, the TV series and films. Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of the ever-logical Vulcan, Mr. Spock, is one of the most recognizable, loved, and pervasive characterizations in popular culture. He had been closer to the phenomenon of Star Trek than anyone, having played the pivotal role of Spock in the original series, in six motion pictures, and in a special two-part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I AM SPOCK gives us Nimoy's unique perspective on the beginnings of the Star Trek phenomenon, on his relationship with his costars, and particularly on the reaction of the pointed-eared alien that Nimoy knew best. Here, Nimoy shared the true story behind his perceived reticence to re-create the role and wrote frankly about how his portrayal defined an icon.

I have purchased this book and found it very interesting by what it said and by what was not said. I enjoyed Spock and found a copy of "I am not Spock" at the library to read. This book borrows a lot from the first, from anecdotes to ideas expressed.Since I had no idea of Leonard's other works I have now watched some of the movies he has been in and read some of his poems. I will miss Spock and Leonard. Rest in Peace.
I laughed and cried and oh man, it was a fast, fun read because I wanted to know every little thing. I am sad that the book ended and sad that he cannot continue with another book (but his son is continuing his legacy with a movie). This book is for every fan of Star Trek, every writer or creative person to see what goes on behind the scenes in creating a project, and anyone wanting to know the trials and "tribble" -ations of one man's rather humble life. What a creative genius in his own right with is photography and poetry and such. A definite must read.
Though I did not count pages, I have just finished reading I AM SPOCK and I guess about 85-90% of the pages are devoted to, or connected with, STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES and original-series movies. Also, D.C. Fontana's animated series is briefly mentioned, and a good account is given of the two season-five STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION episodes that had Spock in them ("Unification, Part I" and "Unification, Part II").Only barely is I AM SPOCK an autobiography of Leonard Nimoy. He says a little about his childhood and his parents, he says something about his first years as an actor prior to STAR TREK in 1966, and he says a good deal about his acting and directing subsequent to STAR TREK's first three years. But he says little about his wife and his children. Nor does he say anything about something I learned of only from William Shatner's UP TIL NOW. Namely, his past troubles with alcoholism. And there is nothing about his activities, public or private, beyond 1994 (the book was published in 1995).I was quite surprised to learn that Leonard Nimoy directed the successful comedy movie, THREE MEN AND A BABY. Another movie he directed, THE GOOD MOTHER, I had never heard of. It starred Oscar winners Liam Neeson and Diane Keaton, it had a bold theme regarding childhood exposure to parental sex, and it was a movie that Nimoy was proud of. But it played ghost at the box office, and hardly anyone saw it. Though I commend the description of it--particularly the anecdote regarding Keaton's acting--I am averse to seeing it. I prefer happy endings, and I think this one depresses. On the other hand, Nimoy starred in a TV movie, NEVER FORGET, which I think I WOULD like, if only it were available on DVD. It is the story of Mel Mermelstein who dared to defy the evil falsehoods proliferated by neo-Nazis of the Institute for Historical Review.Especially STAR TREK fans should appreciate the abundance of firsthand information about STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES and original-series movies. Nimoy gives synopses of original-series episodes that had something noteworthy about them, and he gives an introspective examination of the development of Spock. Among other things, he describes why the original-series' third season deteriorated, he gives moderate coverage on the production of each of the first six movies, and he reminisces about STAR TREK conventions, troubles with zealous fans, and the impact of STAR TREK upon humanity. (At least for purposes of marketing STAR TREK movies, STAR TREK: GENERATIONS is not considered an original-series movie, despite the preeminence of Captain Kirk. But Nimoy/Spock was not in it, and in this book Nimoy explains his absence. As he does for the absence of DeForrest Kelley/Dr. McCoy.)There are no photo plates, but maybe plates present problems regarding binding. Anyway, there are many PRINTED photos interspersed throughout to match the text and to provide readers with agreeable distractions. The helpful index has sub-entries.The dust jacket touts this book as follows: "Now, in this long-awaited autobiography, Mr. Nimoy opens up to his fans in ways the Vulcan never could." I am afraid this has misled some buyers, but I am not going to fault the book because the dust jacket has a few misleading words. I did not even read the dust jacket until after I had read the book. The book's title suggested STAR TREK content relating to Leonard Nimoy. That is what I expected, that is what I got, and what I got satisfied me. Therefore, my rating is five stars.
It made me very sad to read this book because of the passing of one of my heroes growing up, but it was a great and wonderful book. Reading about the man who made Spock was very wonderful and just so sad :(I love reading memoirs about my favorite actors and actresses. Finding out all of these little tidbits that you never knew about them.The ongoing dialog between Spock and Leonard throughout the book is classic. He would have these conversations between him and Spock. They were quite comical and I enjoyed them immensely.Leonard Nimoy was a man of many talents. He not only starred in a lot of films and plays, he was a great director.I think anyone that loves the Star Trek franchise, especially Spock, will love this book. I highly recommend!Lived Long and Prospered!!!!!RIP ~ Leonard NimoyMY REVIEWS:www.melissa413readsalot.blogspot.comhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1213278466
This is a pleasant book, mostly for readers interested in Star Trek, about Nimoy's career as Spock, with some information about his other dramatic and directorial roles. I read it right after reading George Takei's "To the Stars", which is better, mostly because Takei had a much more interesting and full life, starting with his experiences as a child in the Japanese-American campus during WWII, and then his activist/political work. Nimoy admits to having a personal life (Takei in 1994 was not in a position to talk about his) but keeps it completely generic (wife and kids).Many things surprised me -- Roddenberry seems to have disappeared from Star Trek after the first two seasons, never reappearing, at least for Nimoy, as an artistic force for Star Trek. Unlike Takei, Nimoy only mentions Shatner's artistic megalomania once or twice, and seems to have managed not only to get along with him but actually to have liked him.I always wondered why, after directing the astonishingly successful "Three Men and a Baby" that set box office records, Nimoy didn't go on to a major career as a Hollywood director. Perhaps it was the problematic "The Good Mother" that killed that.The whole theme of Nimoy and Spock having dialogs didn't do much for me. I'm not sure that I believe that Spock was such a sustained and significant role in his career that Spock would be in his head.Anybody who is interested in Star Trek and Spock should definitely read this -- at the price it's more than worth it.
