I have read I Am Spock, but I didn't like it as much. It's not a bad book, but to me I Am Not Spock was more compelling and immediate, and had more of a playfulness, especially with the imaginary conversations. I Am Spock is more of a conventional autobiography, and Nimoy spends quite a bit of time explaining that yes, he does like Spock, and giving details of what led to the misunderstandings. Also, he spends time talking about the Star Trek movies and other events in his life after I Am Not Spock was written. His perspective is different in the two books given the decades in between them. I'm not sorry I read I Am Spock, but it didn't make as strong an impression on me as I Am Not Spock. I wonder if part of the reason for that is that he got burned for being playful in the first book. He adopts a carefully straightforward and partly apologetic tone in I Am Spock, and tells the stories like he's told them many times before, and has more distance from the events. The distance allows other insights though, so it's not all bad.

In both of them, Nimoy comes off as being a genuinely nice human being. I've read some autobiographies of other actors who came off as jerks, so it's nice when a person I admire on-screen has admirable qualities off-screen.
