Book Reviews of Shatnerquake
Book Review: Shatnerquake Will Rock You
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the extreme (XTREME) pleasure of seeing Jeff Burk perform a scene from Shatnerquake at a reading recently. If you've not seen this, immediately find out when and where you can, and see it. But before you do that, read the book. I happened to have finished Shatnerquake the night before I saw Jeff perform. I was very happy I had.
Jeff Burk has created something smart and amazing with Shatnerquake. The whole concept is hilariously brilliant. William Shatner? William Shatner. William Shatner! That truly says everything about the thrill-ride through the Shatner-tastic world-bending event. It's a quake in all senses of the world. It will rock you.
Even when Captain Kirk is rampaging through the sickest convention center in all the land, phasering bystanders and later chopping up everything around him with a lightsaber, I wanted to be there.
I'm pretty sure nearly every memorable character Shatner has ever played is in this book--all at one time. It's like an electric Shatner pie. It's non-stop. It's insightful. It's an homage in perfect Bizarro form. It is seriously a blast to read.
Jeff Burk takes a look at juicy bits of society through a Shatner-tinted looking glass, turning show business (conventions in particular) on its side for the readers to get a good look. He's done a great job of keeping it fast and funny and sliding ideas past us in the melee surrounding a Shatner-disaster.
It's obviously an ode to a tremendous entertainer, and Mr. Burk treats William Shatner and his career with great respect, while still taking us on a crazy ride through the public persona of such a well-known and illustrious performer.
Rock and roll in written form.
There's even a Bruce Campbell sci-fi cult. (They're the ones that make Shatner's convention experience so much fun.)
Buy this book!
Summary of Shatnerquake
After a reality bomb goes off at the first ever ShatnerCon, all of the characters ever played by William Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world. Their mission: hunt down and destroy the real William Shatner. Featuring: Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, Denny Crane, Priceline Shatner, Cartoon Kirk, Rescue 9-1-1 Shatner, singer Shatner, and many more. No costumed con-goer will be spared in their wave of destruction, no red shirt will make it out alive, and not even the Klingons will be able to stand up to a deranged Captain Kirk with a light saber. But these Shatner- clones are about to learn a hard lesson . . . that the real William Shatner doesn't take crap from anybody. Not even himself.Comic Books
