Frank, honest, open and totally fascinating - By: Mr. M. Randall, 01 Mar 2006 
You have to feel sorry for Wil Wheaton at times. Here is a guy that seems to have been blighted by early success & fame only to be shot down to the ranks of just another actorin a field of thousands. This book covers a periodin his life when he is reflecting on past glories & tells us of the inner emotional turmoil that he feels whilst trying to support his family & improve his Hollywood career. You really feel his pain at times when he recalls the many set-backs & rejections that he has faced.
The thing that impresses me most about this book is Wil's style of writing. It is frank & open, it peels back the veneer of an actors ego & exposes what he feels on the inside & you cannot help but feel for him as a result.
This is an excellent book, & I'd recommend it to geeks & non-geeks alike.
Set phasers to: stunning! - By: , 03 Jan 2005 Whether you're a Star Trek TNG fan, a Stand By Me fan or simply a fan of the author himself, you owe it to yourself to buy this book. Wil's writing is deeply honest & self-deprecating. He's not afraid to show the reality of what it's like to be a struggling actor. Of having to make decisions that would mean the difference between the bills getting paid or losing his Star Trek credibility.
Ultimately, Just A Geek is a success story. It's about a man finding his placein world & allowing you to come along for the journey. I found myself laughing & cryingin equal measure.
Thank you Wil.
