'Fan Fiction' by Brent Spiner

Fan Fiction: A Mem-Noir: Inspired by True Events by Brent Spiner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brent Spiner portrayed the beloved Star Trek character Data, an android, on television and in films. If you didn't know that, you might not think to pick up this book or enjoy it as much as I did. It's a mystery based on Spiner's life growing up and experience as a star in a show that attracts ardent fans. Spiner shows us his feet of clay with wry good humor and brings in his other Star Trek personages of the day -- creator Gene Roddenberry and his fellow cast mates -- for delightful cameos. You don't have to be die-hard Star Trek fan to enjoy this fun book, but it helps to be familiar with Star Trek: The Next Generation or to be interested in getting behind the scenes in Hollywood. Aside from being a talented actor and a genuinely funny guy, Spiner is also a singer, and now, a novelist. Very fun, worth a read.
