"This book is an utter delight. It is, literally, laugh-out-loud funny. The stories are full of twists that are at times surreal--like having Henry Rollins and Rush Limbaugh together at a football party in Bill's house. Shatner Rules is a light, clever, witty book that is all about enjoying life from the perspective of a now eighty-year-old man with fascinating stories to tell... this is a great read."--Portland Book Review
"The galaxy's most famous starship captain offers a mostly tongue-in-cheek guide to his rules for living, complete with anecdotes and life lessons. Eighty years old and still going strong with multiple TV shows, films, books and appearances...Shatner's lust for life shines through... Whatever the situation--be it an awkward dinner with Charlton Heston or a fight to the death with a wild boar--Shatner applies his rules as only he can...[his] fans will relish the opportunity to learn from the master."--Kirkus Reviews
