A non-recommendation for a book
Okay, I have been trying to read this book: The Fifty-Year Mission: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek: The First 25 Years
I am about a third of the way through it, and I don't think that I'm going to be able to finish it, and I can't recommend it to anyone else.
It's full of back-biting and axe-grinding, and reads like a tabloid gossip magazine. It certainly isn't doing anything to enlighten or inform me about what I like about Star Trek.
Two thumbs down!
Instead I'm going back to reread the most excellent three volumes by Marc Cushman: These are the Voyages.
