dgw reviewed The seven pearls of financial wisdom by Carol Pepper

dgw reviewed Star Trek by Roberto Orci
Review of 'Star Trek' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Does a good job of explaining some things in the film. Some character drawings were off, though; occasionally it looked like an unfamiliar character had a familiar face. Also, not once does the book use the word "phenomenon", even though there was only maybe one place where "phenomena" was correct. (A few other wince-worthy errors, too, like "Romulas".)
Overall, nitpicking aside, an enjoyable book. Has an extreme case of typical Star Trek coincidence-itis, and some major scientific flaws, but since the film plot also doesn't fit with the rest of Star Trek it's (barely) forgivable.

2012-01-07: I am presently reading this book, but a few preliminary thoughts will appear below as I have them.
I played in a production of the musical adaptation of this book back in 2008. That started me on it.
Last semester (Fall 2011) I used the book as source material for a performance project in my theatre class. (Our project was well received, and played a part in altering the course of the rest of the term. The co-professors refocused the upcoming readings right after our presentation.)

It was wonderful to get a look at what happened to that quiet boy in "Cardassians" (DS9).
[This is not a spoiler]
The ending was... unclear to me. Anyone else?
