I read Just a Geek in about 36 hours, taking it with me on the train home and just zooming through the whole thing. It’s a great read, composed of original posts from Wheaton’s blog and commentary on those posts as well as new material. It’s a fascinating story detailing his journey as he deals with the fact that he may not be the person he thought he wanted to be, and accepts that the person he is is as good, if not better.
The book is not a Star Trek book. Star Trek is mentioned but not to the exclusion of all else. Wheaton’s family are much more important, and interesting, as is his life of auditions and, generally, rejection. I would recommend thus book to anyone, regardless of whether they know who Wil Wheaton is or not. Wheaton is clearly a writer with talent and I look forward to his next book as much as, actually probably more than, I looked forward to this one after Dancing Barefoot.
