New York Times BestsellerLeonard Nimoy and William Shatner first crossed paths as actors on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Little did they know that their next roles as Spock and Captain Kirk, in a new science-fiction television series, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated. In seventy-nine television episodes of Star Trek and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine.Over the course of half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows. In this powerfully emotional book, Shatner tells the story of a man who was his friend for five decades, recounting anecdotes and untold stories of their lives on and off set, as well as gathering stories from others who knew Nimoy well, to present a full picture of a rich life.As much a biography of Nimoy as a story of their friendship, Leonard is a uniquely heartfelt audiobook written and read by one legendary actor in celebration of another.

I have been wanting to read this book and my son gave it to me for Christmas; I was not disappointed. I learned a lot about Leonard Nimoy that I did not know, like that fact that he was a poet. Truly enjoyed this book.
This was a very interesting look at both the lives of William Shatner himself and of Leonard Nimoy. It seems a very honest portrayal of their interpersonal and life struggles . The audiobook was especially impacting to me because of Shatner's own narration of his book. The end left me saddened and h...
In some review or other, Shatner was accused of “committing serial autobiography” (pretty funny) – but as far as I can recall, the only memoirs of his that I have read have been specifically linked to Star Trek (either the TV show or the movies). Given the generally appalling anecdotes about the st...
