Nichelle Nichols led a pretty interesting life. All her accounts of the racism she's dealt with are particularly involving. The book has an eye-rolling movie star tendency toward self flattery, but she has reason to be proud of her accomplishments (and I'm sorry, but contrary to what's been previously written, she never comes close to claiming that everyone in her family is a genius or that every man she met fell in love with her). She also offers some STAR TREK anecdotes that I for one never saw before, and I've read a lot of them.
