Shatner Rules

Opinionated, award-winning actor William Shatner here reveals his rules for life with great panache and shards of autobiographical detail--from his earliest days as an actor to "Boston Legal" and beyond. As he entered the exalted status of octogenarian, he evidently decided to impart his wisdom to the world, and he does so in his inimitable clipped phrases, which exude good humor and his devil-may-care resilience. "Star Trek" is here, and so are marriages, stage plays, movies, TV, horses, and other snippets of a long and varied life. He is conciliatory to other people in his past who have expressed dislike toward him. It all comes across as balanced and honest. D.R.W. (c) AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
