Reviews for The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway

[ERIC WATSON · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Good. But it would be nice if the ending didn't contradict the Voyager relaunch novels.

[Emma · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

So amazing! If you live Voyager, listening to to this will make your heart glad.

[Alex Houchens · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Pretty good autobiography of Captain Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek Voyager. Tells the story of Janeway from her younger years all the way to a little bit after the end of Star Trek Voyager. Having it reading by Janeway actress herself, Kate Mulgrew, adds that little bit of charm & authenticity to it that makes this a “must-listen” for Trek fans.

[Jeffrey Williams · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a great return to one of my favorite shows.

[Diane Severson Mori · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

If you love Star Trek and have seen all of ST: Voyager, you will enjoy this diverting “memoir”. I especially enjoyed the “original” portion of the book, before Janeway and the crews of the Voyager and the Valjean were whisked to the Delta quadrant, although, don’t get me wrong, to hear Janeway’s thoughts on some of the key events of that era was also interesting. Well written, I’ve been enjoying Una McCormack’s other Star Trek novels lately and of course, Kate Mulgrew’s narration fully embodied the character. There even seemed to be some true emotional moments you could hear in her rough voice in the moment.

Very enjoyable indeed!

Outstanding! Really, it doesn't get better than this...Una McCormack has a real knack of finding the voices of Trek's most challenging characters, and having Kate Mulgrew voice this book is icing on the cake.
