Yes, yes, two autobiographies in a row.... (there may be more too, these are super interesting). This was both the same and different from the Picard and Janeway biographies that I had previously read.
It’s the same in that still gives us insights into some of the parts of their lives that we hadn't known before. But it’s slightly different because James T. Kirk has been around for so long as a character, that, much more of his life has been revealed during the actual TV and movies.
Still, it was interesting to read some of the events that I have watched on the show/movies, ‘in his own words’. And, honestly, my favorite part was the afterword by Spock. On the one hand, we know that he's still alive after the "publication" of the book after the Enterprise B in Generations. But, it breaks the fourth wall if that is said, so, how they used Spock to sort of hint that he was still alive was inventive and in canon-ish even. Fun book. And I’m definitely looking forward to finally getting to the Spock Autobiography, (and then the Sisko Autobiography is coming out in December as well!!)
