Just a geek

I admit it. I actually liked Wesley on TNG. Probably because I would have killed to be on the real Enterprise (if it were a real space ship) or an actor on the show. And, don't worry Wil, I wasn't looking for a rehash of Star Trek. I knew what the book was about and was interested in how Wil's thoughts on TNG and acting evolved. I enjoyed the story and the way thoughts from the blog were interwoven. It wasn't as much a chronological story as a chronology of thought and emotion. Very enjoyable.

A pretty good and interesting read. Wheaton has always been a great writer in the time I've been following him and this book just further cements his reputation in my mind. Riveting from start to finish I enjoyed every word. It provides a good look at the life of an actor from a cultural phenomenon such as Star Trek and how he comes to terms with that in his life, both personally and professionally.

I have never actively watched Star Trek and first encountered him as Sheldon's nemesis on Big Bang theory. So for me many of the Star Trek references lead to searches on IMDB/Wikipedia. I still enjoyed reading this book that came with the latest humble bundle. In it Wil Wheaton describes his struggles to come to terms with his early fame after growing up and being only famous for once having been famous.
