Entertaning, hilarious, very well written
I was never too fond of the character of Lxwanana Troi (although there were a couple of standout episodeswith her in the latter days of "TNG"), and Q always seemed a little too human for me. But Peter David wrote a very good novel involing them. All of the chracters are written exactly as they are in the best TV episodes -- this, as some else said, really could have made a good multi-part teleplay. There's also a subplot involving Wesley Crusher which is quite funny. The framing story is also quite believable -- the novel is not strictly comedic. "Star Trek" novels are always a mixed bag, but "TNG" fans can't go wrong with this one. I'm looking forward to reading David's "Q-Squared" after this one.

A Nice Read For Valentine's Day
The entire time, this story felt like something I should have been reading on Valentine's Day. The whole book is about love and Q's "romance" with Deanna's mother. Overall, it is a good story but it gets silly when Lwaxana Troi takes revenge on Q for breaking her heart. I could picture it all in my head and it was pretty laughable more than threatening to read her beating Q up with Q powers of her own. A lot of the characters from TNG are missing or with little mention. I was surprised how the only cast members really in the story are Picard, Deanna and Lwaxana.

If Q is in it, and Peter David is writing it, then I am reading it
Q meets Lwaxana Troi... Why wasn't this an episode in the series?Peter David who is slowly becoming my favorite Star Trek writer does it again with this incredible entertaining novel.

A wedding among two of the most important families in the Federation is about to happen.And all our favorites make roll call.Including the wonderful and very complex Lwaxana Troi and everyones favorite entity Q.Q returns to the Enterprise because he wants to know about this whole human idea of love.Since there is a wedding not to mention the love sick Lwaxana there it seems like the perfect classroom for him to experiment.In this experiment besides trying to sabotage the wedding he also becomes involved with Lwaxana which is worth the price of the book when she finds out that it is an "experiment". All hell breaks loose and Q I am sure is reminded of an old earth saying "Hell have no fury like a woman's scorn".

There is also a side story involving Wesley Crusher and his gift from the bride.A gift that shows up naked in his quarters.Ol' Wes is not one of my favorite characters but Peter David makes him tolerable without changing who he is which is a small miracle.

As always Peter David knows his Star Trek characters.That along with a wondefully fast paced story it is an impossible book to put down.One of my favorite things about any episode or book that Q is in is the chemistry he has with Captain Jean Luc Picard.This relationship is captured masterfully in this book. Lwaxana Troi is also written extremely well as she is (as usual) on the hunt for a man. This is not one of those save the universe type of stories.Not even the Enterprise can or has to save the universe every day.Still very light and funny but still one of the best Star Trek novels I have read.

Grade: A+

Another of David's Effortless Wonders
Writing a humorous book is hard enough, but then make it a humorous Trek book?Good luck - but that's exactly what David accomplished in this rich, smart, TOO-QUICK jaunt of the ultimate battle of the sexes - Q vs. Lwaxana.The back-story is slight but you won't might mind in the slightest as David has a true gift for characterization, with nobody getting Worf in particular better.Plus, as a bonus of sorts, this is somewhat indirect sequel to Imzadi with many continuing threads hinted at/glaring for anyone reader of the previous books (though as usual David writes so well that non-readers of Imzadi won't be left out in any way).I can't say enough positive things about this charming little work of fantastic fiction which would have been a truly remarkable episode if ever filmed.

If you are a STNG fan, get this book.Read this book.You will enjoy it - Q guarantees it!

Fun Read
A delightful story for Star Trek: TNG fans. The main characters are Deanna Troi's imperious mother Lwaxanna, and the god-like entity "Q." The two huge egos clash at a wedding that Picard is reluctantly hosting on the Enterprise. The bride and groom come from a Romeo and Juliet-like background, as two feuding races come together only for the young couple. But Q has an agenda of his own, simultaneously romancing Lwaxanna - to her daughter Deanna's absolute horror - and stirring up doubts and fears between the bride and the groom. How can Picard take control of what is threatening to become complete chaos on his ship?

Really a fun read. The author has great understanding of the crew of the Enterprise's characters. Q-In-Law has many laugh-out-loud parts.
