Book Review: Still Just a Geek
Still Just a Geek: An Annotated Memoir by Wil Wheaton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I absolutely adore Will Wheaton and have for a long time. So, of course I wanted to read his memoir, and what luck, I procrastinated so long that he published an annotated version! And wow is it annotated. If annotations were thread counts, this book would be a bedsheet with 3 billion threads per inch. At least a quarter of the book is the pile-up of annotations at the back. But, it’s fun to try to anticipate what Older Will will say about Younger Will before poking the annotation link.
Because of so many annotations, and the highly detailed memories Will has included, this is a long book. A very long book. I started it last Fall and just finished it *this* Fall.
Course, it’s all totally worth the effort to get the payoff of a certain incident involved in Will meeting William Shatner. Oh, myyyyy (wait, that’s someone else.)
