You love William Shatner. You admire his many and varied talents. You appreciate his creativity and willingness to take risks. You want to learn his master negotiation techniques. You wish you could hang out with him. Admit it. You want to BE William Shatner.
And now...you can (almost).
To be Shatner, you must follow the rules included in this lively, entertaining, and thought-provoking volume. This collection of rules and fun factners, illustrated with stories from Bill's illustrious life and career, will show you how Bill became WILLIAM SHATNER, larger than life and bigger than any role he ever played. Shatner Rules is your guide to becoming William Shatner. Or more accurately, beautifully Shatneresque. Because let's face it...Shatner does rule, doesn't he?
An enjoyable - and quick - read. Some places I laughed out loud, and other places were nearly as funny. It is less of a classical memoir than a faux self-help book, centered around the massive ego of Shatner. He is ready to mock himself, but he isn't shy about pointing out funny things about others, too. It is well written, light, will not change the world, but might give you a laugh or two...or more. ( )
This book was a true joy to read. I wasn't even supposed to read, my plan was just to check in the first chapter but I was hooked, line and sinker. It was a quick read; it was both easy written and so funny that I couldn’t stop reading. Star Trek is kind of a big thing in America (see image below)
William Shatner is and always will be (I almost quoted the wrath of khan) best known for the role of Captain Kirk. If you want a deep biography about Shatner and Star Trek, this isn’t the book for you, then you should read [b:Star Trek Memories|77549|Star Trek Memories|William Shatner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386921185s/77549.jpg|1098955] and/or [b:Star Trek Movie Memories|77550|Star Trek Movie Memories|William Shatner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387717473s/77550.jpg|287688]. But if you want a couple of hour of entertainment, then this book is for you! ( )
I 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! ( )
this 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.
Shatner Rules is nothing except that which it purports to be. It’s an entertaining walk through Shatnerville, one where the regular tourists can admire the familiar scenery, and where newcomers can chuckle at their newfound surroundings. There’s a distinct been there, done that, feeling for the Shatner Faithful.

I've gotten to the age where I am counting every precious minute, so although none of us knows what is going to happen next, the dice are loaded for me having less time than more. So it seems that I should give a giant shout-out to everything meaningful in my life, 'cause you never know when you are going to get another shout-out. So to my wife, my daughters, my grandchildren, my dogs, my horses, and my friends, I hope I see you all tomorrow. And I'd also like to give a shout-out to Chris Regan, who is a terrific guy, a wonderful writer, and a new friend.
