Too short

Really interesting, and not just for fans of Star Trek. Mr. Takei has a great voice, and a really good attitude. The only downfall is that it is abridged.

Easy Listen

This was certainly a good listen. The story was very well written and the narration by Takei was excellent. However I felt that the abridging process made the flow of the book less enjoyable and you get the feeling that there is so much left out from the full version. It keeps you wondering what you have missed. I generally make it a point not to buy abridged books but in this case I had no choice.

To the Stars by a Star

This book is so well written and well narrated. Mr. Takei has the knack to write as if he is talking with you. You feel every bit of emotion that he went through. I definitely recommend it to all.

short but interesting

was glad to hear it read from the author as he has a great voice and added all the appropriate emphasis and mannerisms, but it just seemed short

I don't have the paper book for comparison but it seems like the audio should have been at least twice as long since he had such a diverse & interesting past

I wasn't ready for the story to end.

Very interesting, informative and entertaining. Loved the first hand account of his childhood at the Japanese internment camps. George is a very intelligent and diverse and talented man. And of course the Star
Trek saga at its beginning. Only wish the story was longer, I wasn't ready for it to end.

A delightful snack but I want more

Apparently you can only get the 3 hour abridgement in audio book format. It's a deep pleasure to hear Mr Takei narrate his own book but it's a breezy, rapid overview of his life and career with obvious emphasis on his Star Trek experiences. I wish i could hear the unabridged story and more about his diverse productions and more behind the scenes.

eye opening

Truly an interesting look at the living legend, a must listen for any fan! It is great to hear about the creation and growth of the legendary series.

very well done enjoyed it very much

very well read. and written I enjoyed it and listened to its entirety in one day

I just wish it wasn't abridged.

George Takei does a masterful job narrating. But it would be a lot better if the audiobook wasn't abridged.
