DANCING BAREFOOT Five Short but True Stories About Life in the So-Called Space Age

In this short but sweet memoir, Wil Wheaton, best known for his role as Wesley Crusher in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” dishes about everything from psycho fans to the joys of being a stepfather with equal parts warmth and humor. The narrative itself is amusing, but hearing him mimicking costars (such as a dead-on impression of Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard saying his famous "Make it so") brings it to a whole new level of hilarity. He also enlivens the wacky world of comic convention attendees with vocal caricatures, performing a variety of accents—from Southern, German, and Japanese to those of laid-back surfer dudes who know "like, everything about ‘Star Trek,’ man." An amusing listen for anyone who’s truly a geek at heart. E.E. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2014]
