Review: STAR TREK TNG: DARK MIRROR

Star Trek TNG: Dark Mirror by Diane Duane

Genre: science fiction

About Star Trek TNG: Dark Mirror:

One hundred years ago, four crewmembers of the U.S.S EnterpriseTM crossed the dimensional barrier and found a mirror image of their own universe, populated by nightmare duplicates of their shipmates. Barely able to escape with their lives, they returned, thankful that the accident which had brought them there could not be duplicated, or so they thought.

My Say About This Book:

I've read this book about 20 years ago. But I could still remember scenes from it. Like Picards' painting. I also remember immensely enjoying reading this book. Unfortunately for me, I only borrowed this book from the library. So I now do not have a copy I could re-read anymore. Keeping my eyes out for a bargain copy of this book though :) I wouldn't rate the world building nor the character development since it has been done a long time before this book with the Star Trek movies, so to me it is no longer applicable. The author is playing in a known field. So the rating relies heavily on the author's story telling quality which is good.

Story telling quality = 4.5
Story itself = 4
Ending = 4.5
World building = N/A
Character development = N/A

Cherry’s Rating: 4.5 out of 5 cherries

My Review:
I've read this book about 15 years ago borrowed from the library. I would still say that this book is a very good read! The world building was already set by the star trek movies/series so the world building and character development there cannot be scored as it was already done long before this book was published. The author however spins a tale about the two characters in star trek which I really liked. And I think this has contributed a whole lot to my reading pleasure! My addiction and craving was fed! The story telling was compelling enough that I would give it a 4 out of 5. The story itself was a much-loved one and I would give it a 5 out of 5. Overall entertainment value, I would give this book a 5 out of 5. I still love this book after all these years...

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 cherries
