I really like Wil Wheaton's voice so it was an enjoyable listen.
I loved the little tidbit about Q (John de Lancie) signing in silver so no one else could.
I'm a little annoyed with Wheaton saying that he didn't like Deep Space 9 and Voyager while on stage at the convention when someone asked what his favorite episodes of those two series were. I'm a little irked because he mentions liking the other actors and being part of this community, so to me you can say ‘oh I don't really care for those series/they're not my favorite, but I like x.' Because you should support those who have supported you; Michael Dorn was in DS9, Johnathan Frakes directed three episodes of DS9 and three of Voyager, and LeVar Burton directed eight episodes of Voyager. All three Wheaton had spoken favorably of, he could have used that moment to lift someone he does like rather than putting down something he didn't.
Wil Wheaton's self deprecating humor works for me. I find him genuinely funny. I intend to listen to his other two books now.
Wil Wheaton writes five short, but sweet and insightful stories about love, loss and growing up but remaining a kid at heart. While all the stories had their high points, the longest story The Saga of SpongeBob VegasPants was my favorite because it had a bit of everything. I think that the most endearing thing about Wil Wheaton is that he is still unsure of himself. He is confident when it comes down to it and he's in his element, but before he finds his bearings he's sort of just this normal guy who really wants to make people happy.
And his recounting of meeting WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER was painfully sweet.
