Welcome to Litsy!

This book is probably best enjoyed by serious fans of Star Trek: the Next Generation, and even then you should probably have a high tolerance for wacky hijinks paired with disturbing stalker details. Luckily I have always loved Data, and Brent Spiner has certainly created something memorable in this amalgam of memoir and Hollywood whodunit. The result seems like an episode where the Holodeck is glitching big time and all safety protocols are off.

Yeah I loved this one. I thought it was going to be a memoir on the dark side of fans but it was actually the most crazy, 10% memoir, 90% fan fiction story about the dark side of fans. The audiobook was genius. Most of the cast of Next Gen joined in and between music and sound effects, it was a full immersion experience, and a fun commentary, making fun of what can certainly become a scary situation.

Thank you so so much @AFrostCauseReads for such a fun #SSS package! I love it all so much. Happy Spring! And a special thanks to @Avanders for hosting! #SpeculativeSpringSwap

This was a weird book but it tells a fun story. It's a noir fiction about someone stalking Brent Spiner as his daughter from an episode of TNG. It wasn't what I expected but it was fun to get a little memoir inserted into this crazy plot.

I grabbed this (signed!) from Mysterious Galaxy last week and read it today. It was quick and easy. But the plot was all over the place and zany to the point of cringiness. But my main beef was Spiner's depiction of himself thinking more with his dick than his brain. I get he's making fun of himself and maybe the noir genre, but it felt really juvenile. ⬇️

2/5

This is an odd, but fun read. Spiner writes a fan fiction of his own life very loosely based on an experience he had with a stalker. While the events of the book are fictional, it does communicate some truths about Spiner and his experience with celebrity. I imagine bigger Star Trek fans would understand more references and enjoy this more than I did.

"This is the thing about being a 'celebrity'. There's no way you can please everyone or be sincere with everyone or respond to everyone's phone calls, so no matter what, eventually you're going to fall short and disappoint. And that makes my own neurosis even more complex. As much as I want to be loved by everyone, I don't want the responsibility of loving everyone in return."

Sometimes amidst the silly antics Spiner presents a heartfelt truth!

So apparently Brent Spiner wrote a book so of course I had to check it out! It's absolutely hilarious so far! 😂 The boys don't know what to think about sitting so close to one another! 😹 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #chaplin #roxas

The man. The myth. The author. And now it‘s nice to have a matched set!!

This book is fun but strange! Spiner mixes a real life look at his life behind the scenes of Star Trek TNG and a Hollywood noir mystery. He receives threatening fan mail, and he and twin detectives try to solve the case. It was laugh out loud funny a number of times. Plus I loved the full-cast recording of my favorite ST:TNG stars: Patrick Stewart, Levar Burton, etc. and VO artists like Saskia Maarveld. Go #audiobook!!

This just arrived today and I am so geeking out over this!!!

Finished the book, but I think Scully wasn't ready for me to get up quite yet 🤔

🎧 I‘ve thought about this story for a day. How do I review this book without sounding like a crazed fan girl straight from the pages … while conveying my utmost pleasure in listening to it?

MWA HAHAHAHA

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!

DATA was my TNG Spock! I loved both of these characters! Brent Spiner rocked the DATA performance!! I grew up in the Star Trek Universe. This book was totally my jam.
