A New York Times best seller
Leonard 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 audiobook, 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.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This was a nice biography of Leonard Nimoy by William Shatner. It was like listening to a eulogy (so positively biased, but honest) given by a good friend. Shatner compares and contrasts his background with Leonard's, so it is like listening to both of their biographies together.Who was your favorite character and why?

Shatner opens his soul & shares events, including the struggles, the ups & downs between two unlikely people over a 50 year span. The two separate drives that allowed these two men to relate to each other, support each other, & travel life's unpredictable road together. A bond of love that tested life's furnace & came out strong on the other side.
When it comes down to the core we see two human beings with the same frailties, the same fears, the same issues & emotions we all deal with.
This is Shatner's best work. He opens up his soul in a most sensative & human manner. Bravo to Mr. Shatner & to his best friend, our own beloved Leonard Nimoy... Mr. Spock. LLAP

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have already recommended this book to any Star Trek fan I have come across with, because of the poignancy of Shatner describing his closest friend's life for us to enjoy and admire.Nimoy is already missed!What did you like best about this story?
All of it.Have you listened to any of William Shatner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I enjoyed Shatner's "Star Trek Memories." The are comparable when discussing certain aspects of Star Trek, but each stand on their own.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Shatner in my opinion was unfairly criticized for missing Nimoy's funeral. This is a great tribute!Fascinating
