Uh... no. Sorry.

I got this title because, when I was in the eighth grade, I fully enjoyed the novelization of STAR TREK IV, and the price was insanely low.

Unless my (nearly photographic) memory is failing me, this is NOT the novelization. It's more like a reading of a summary with a few interjections by Spock and sound effects, and contains none of the added detail I remember (such as the scripted, but unfilmed, scene where Sulu encounters his ancestor).

Takei and Nimoy must have really needed the money, that's all I can say.

Terrible adaptation

I got this audiobook in hopes to have a far more in-depth and detailed telling of this movie script. Instead, I had an incredibly abbreviated telling of Star Trek for with enormous swatches of the story completely cut.

I was so disappointed with this adaptation!!!

Disappointed.

This was not Vonda McIntyre's full novelization of the movie. At best, this was a severely abridged version. At worst, it was an amateurish imitation based on the screenplay. Too many parts of the movie script were missing, to say nothing of entire chapters of McIntyre's book.

where is the unabridged

as this is my favorite movie I was hoping to find the unabridged version. I am not quite sure why this is abridged but it is still a great listen
