This Doctor Who book was ultimately somewhat disappointing as it fails (though it does try) to capture the personality of the show and the Doctor as portrayed by David Tennant. The story was passable, the writing fair (point of view, point of view, who's got the point of view?).

I just wanted to add that this story is actually kind of creepy feeling compared to the other new Who novels. ( )

Despite being a big fan of the TV series, this was the first Doctor Who book that I had tried. The format is a little smaller than most books, which made it really nice to hold and read.. especially in the bath! It also allows for the story to be fast paced, so that it feels like a TV episode.

This one was based on the 10th Doctor and Martha - The Doctor’s character is well written, which makes it very easy to picture him whilst reading (always a pleasure!), but I did feel that Martha wasn’t captured quite as well.

The actual storyline was actually like many of the TV episodes.. it could have been quite silly, and yet somehow, it works. I don’t know which age groups this book is aimed at, but younger readers may find this one a little frightening.

All in all, if this one is anything to go by, these books are great for fans, offering yet more time with The Doctor. I’ve already spotted some more I’d like to pick up!
