Warped Factors

A Neurotic's Guide to the Universe

By: Walter Koenig

Narrated by: Walter Koenig

This is actor Walter Koenig's story— from growing up as the neurotic child of Russian immigrants in 1940s Manhattan through his rise to fame on Star Trek as Pavel Chekov, Russian navigator of the U.S.S. Enterprise. With wry wit, striking candor, and a true gift for storytelling, Koenig takes us on a sometimes bumpy but often hilarious trip through his galaxy. Blind faith and a healthy sense of irony sustain him as he relates a steady stream of anecdotes. This amusing memoir also takes us behind the scenes of Star Trek, with fresh perspectives on the cast members and the development and evolution of the sci-fi legend.

I learned about myself

Mr Koenig I want to thank you for undertaking this work and sharing it with your fans.

Not only did I come to understand more about you not cekov, but you. in addition, I learned more about myself and that made me feel an inward strength that I don't think I have ever felt before.

tears welled up in my eyes. The same way tears appeared when my mother, my savior, said something that made a profound impact on my life.

I have so much more I would like to say to you. However, I think it to be more appropriate to tell in a fan letter.

Best Wishes

Eye Opening

A superb autobiography showing the true depth of the man’s character and personality as it develops throughout his journey in life.

YAY!

Thank you, Mr. Koenig, for your work. I love Babylon Five, but first and foremost I have been and always shall be an Original Series Trekker.

A good read that shines a light on Mr. Koenig.

What did you like best about Warped Factors? What did you like least?

Mr. Koenig does a good job presenting his story. It had some twist and turns that gave me an insight on his true self. I was a little disappointed in the story itself. As a long time fan in was a bit surreal to hear that it was just another job. I understand that, but it didn't make any more fun to read.

This should’ve had updates entered

This autobiography is old. More than 25 years. It’s ok, but it’s nothing recent. It’s good, but could’ve been so much better.
