Book follows movie closely
If you've seen the movie, the book will only serve as a refresher of what happened in the movie. This is understandable, as it is written from the screenplay. The story was enjoyable as were the characters, although I wonder how Jim Kirk could withstand being beat up as much as he was. I appreciate the character development and the humor though. It reminded me of the type of humor in the movie, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. However, I was hoping to find out more details from reading the book, such as why the Starfleet Academy cadets had to take a space transport to travel from Iowa to San Francisco. I was also hoping to learn more about Spock's and Kirk's youth. Overall, the story was great, but if you've seen the movie, you don't really need to read the book.

WOW!!!
I love this book. I'm in the middle of reading the paperback edition and it is just fantastic. It is really annoying to have someone do a movie or wright a book and not stay true to the charecters and plot lines. But the new Star Trek movie and book ,I think, are amazing. This book is nice to read right after you've seen the movie because you kinda know what the charecters are going to say but the author tells more about what the charecter is feeling. I am a total Star Trek fan and if you are too this is definetley the book for you! :)

Star Trek (Movie Tie-In)
I really enjoyed the book. It followed the movie well and gave just a couple of details that weren't in the movie - my favorite part.

Superb Reading
This Movie Tie-In filled the holes in the movie. The novel remained true to the motion picture and even had a few new surprises. Seeing (reading) the young crew develop and jell throughout the novel gives you great appreciation for the TV series, and what the characters endured as they made rank to serve on the U.S.S. Enterprise. For anyone not knowing anything about Star Trek, this is a great book to read to see its start. The prologue brought tears of joy to my eyes. Read this book.

if watching the movie wasn't enough...
Foster does a nice job of filling in some of the detail skipped in the movie...the Corvette over the quarry scene makes a lot more sense now.

Star Trek 3.0
A refreshing take on Kirk & Co. An ingenious idea to restart the franchise, using a simple idea of someone from the future who invades the past and changes everything we know about the Star Trek universe. I really love this story!

If you liked the movie, you'll LOVE the book!
This book goes into a more in-depth story than the movie. It explains some issues that the movie could not due to time constraints and sets up a plausible and yet still thrilling new beginning for the Enterprise folks. Quinto is great at the voices and characters as well, capturing the essence of each, especially of his own character Spock as well as Kirk. Loved the book more than the movie as one can imagine a whole lot better than the movie and get into the characters so much better as well. 5 Stars, Highly recommended!

alternate timeline created
What I like most about this book and the film version, it stays true to the continuity already established in the previous ten films and the five tv shows, while at the same time creating an alternate timeline for these characters. If you are die-hard Star Trek fan, or just coming into the franchise, you will enjoy this book!
