- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5this book was actually pretty good. I would really like to read more from him in future. alas it shall have to wait until the summer when my course load is somewhat lighter. there were some moment in here that were dead serious and very important. Some were just funny. Like how it took meeting Patrick Stewart to make him realize that taking every role seriously is how you hone your craft.
consider giving it a read. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a humorous book that addresses the rules by which William Shatner has worked - such as his number one rule - always say yes. The book provides insights into his career, including his three-year stint on Star Trek. But that was only one of several successful TV serieses with which he has been associeated. This is not a deep book, but it is amusing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was brilliant!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5What can I say, except that this book is pure Shat. If you you like The Shat you'll enjoy it and if Shat doesn't do shit for you then why would you pick it up in the first place?
Part advice from a workaholic, the notes of a crotchety old man and some surprising moments of passionate honesty, it does give glimpses of the man behind the magic without ever really leaving the stage.
It's nice light reading, recommended for planes, trains and automobiles (provided you're not the one driving). Just please, don't tell George Takei I said so. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was actually ready to really hate this book. And for the first part of it, I did! Especially when he talked about his Star Trek co-stars and how much they apparently hate him. So much unnecessary bitterness in a book about life rules. But once he got past that, it was actually really lovely, a great look into the many roles and jobs he has taken over the years. I much prefer Bill over William Shatner, the nice guy who trains horses and always says "yes" to every thing. And I guess I'll actually have to listen to my Shatner records now!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A touching, funny look at life from a man who says he's done it all. It was interesting to see the "real" William Shatner behind the facade he puts up on TV. I picked this up as a break from the more serious books I've been reading. Would only really recommend it to Shatner fans though.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5ON THINGS THAT SHATNER SAYS1) This "fifty-thousand-word rulebook/memoir" is a surprisingly fun and funny book. Not for me laugh-out-loud funny, but often smile-worthy. No doubt Shatner's co-author Chris Regan (in the small type), a writer for The Daily Show, had a lot to do with that. By the way, you may not want to read this book while balancing a cup of hot tea on your stomach. Well, while getting over a cold. If you don't laugh, the coughing hit can still get you.2) It's a good thing given frequent snap quizzes I can read upside-down. (Don't have to reverse the book for the answer keys.)3) Shatner's more than a little mean to his Star Trek co-stars. On the other hand, his co-stars do seem viciously mean to him. (See, Chapter 6) Or just google. You don't have to take his word for it.4) For someone raised a nice Jewish boy, Shatner apparently had no problem providing wild boar for dinner--with bow and arrow. Of course, the experience did make him a vegetarian for a while. For a really hair-raising story though, you should hear about him and the fried turkey. I'm not making this up! (See, Chapter 9.)5) I'm not sure however Shatner (or Regan) didn't make up that story about Shatner and his kidnapped undies. (See, Chapter 8)6) Shatner is definitely a Canadian. Only a Canadian would take such pride that Canadians are above all a polite people. He's also a native of Quebec, and even a Francophone, which might explain a lot about how he enunciates the English language. (See, Chapter 2)7) Also? He can proudly claim to be the "Top Esperanto Box Office Draw." (See, Chapter 10)8) Shatner actually takes his singing seriously. Yes, seriously. Well, so did Yoko Ono. (See, Chapter 14)9) Shatner can make Rush Limbaugh cry. (See, Chapter 20)10) If you're a really, really big Shatner fan, unlike just a Star Trek and Kirk fan like me, add two stars to the rating.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5William Shatner's rules for life. Quite entertaining and humorous; Bill explains how he separates himself from William Shatner, and is able to laugh at himself. He also comes across as a fairly lighthearted individual at most times, able to see the comedic side of life. He read the audiobook himself, which lends to its appeal. A quick, funny listen.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hysterical!! Love it. Laughed throughout the entire narrative. William Shatner is an egomaniac, but also an extremely funny and engaging man. I particularly like his #1 rule: "Say Yes" because you never know what it might lead to.
