If you love Shatner, you'll love the book.

Funny, smart, charming. I like Shatner I think his self inflating slightly egotistical personality is hilarious. His life stories are funny. If you like him, you'll love the book.

Good for listening to Shatner's voice.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

As a Stark Trek fan, and having only read about his voice style, I wanted to personally listen to his voice in an audiobook. The content wasn't all that interesting, except for some short stories, but Shatner's reading of the book was the main drawcard for me.

What was most disappointing about William Shatner and Chris Regan ’s story?

Some parts sounded repetitive and similar to others.

A Great Listen

This was really enjoyable. Laugh out loud funny and excellently narrated by Bill.

It also had great life lessons - #1 always say yes to opportunities - you never know where they will lead.

Shatner always rules

Would you listen to Shatner Rules again? Why?

Very entertaining and surprisingly touching as well. Have always enjoyed his performances, but now admire him as a man as well. Bravo, Bill

Absolute joy, ends too soon...

I was thoroughly impressed by “Bill’s” ability to swoop me up into his stories with his spot-on timing and voice fluctuation (the quotes signify the fact I consider him to be my friend—which will make sense to you when you listen to this humorously candid 100% enjoyable audiobook). Bravo, Bill! Age is a state of mind, you are still 19 yrs old and will live forever!

Shatner Rules!

Perfect book to pass along the time on a road trip. There was only one chapter I could have done without (the one read entirely in a different language). Overall this book was a complete delight. There is something comfortable about Shatner's voice and his sense of humor never fails to amuse. Highly recommended.

Maybe some

Would you recommend Shatner Rules to your friends? Why or why not?

Not all of them. It's different.

Good job there

Was Shatner Rules worth the listening time?

Uuuuuuummmm no, I don't think so

Any additional comments?

Not as great as I had hoped

Very entertaining

Would you consider the audio edition of Shatner Rules to be better than the print version?

Yes, nothing beats listening to Shatner Rules being narrated by Shatner. It wouldn't be the same if read by someone else.

What about William Shatner’s performance did you like?

He's Shatner! 'Nuff said.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Come live in Shatner's World!

A 12th power Shatner experience

Just great listening to Shatner talk about... Shatner! Trek, comedy roast, Hooker, family, and everything before after and in between.

Took The Long Way Home To Listen Longer

Even better than his last book - best part is Shatner's narration. I devoured listening to this book - couldn't stop. Took the long way home just so I could listen longer. Amazing awesome book - Shatner is the man.
