I'm a trekkie through and through. I loved the movie & have watched it at least 20 times, probably more like 35 or 40 times. I enjoy reading Star Trek books, too. But, I was disappointed in this book - it read more like a movie script, then an actual book. The author added absolutely nothing to the book, and almost every line the character speaks in the book, is word for word the line in the movie. I would have liked to have seen a more in-depth look at the characters - more "why" and less action.
