This was a fast read, I knocked it out in one evening. Appropriately priced though for a short story. While it wasn't the greatest work I've ever read, it was a fun story and made for an enjoyable evening. If you are looking for a quick read this is a good choice.

Don't expect a lot from this story and you won't be disappointed; well, maybe not as disappointed.

This book is a short read and is very matter-of-fact and to the point. It is obviously written for a young audience and that should be taken into consideration before tearing it apart. All that being said, I wouldn't list this book as a great work of children's fiction either. Basically, it's cheap dimestore pulp.

Pay the two bucks, get a quick Doctor hit, and move on.

Not a bad story idea (though little more than a re-working of the episode "School Reunion"), but some of the worst writing I've seen in publication - choppy, matter of fact, overly declarative, mundane, and inexcusibly redundant prose. It frequently precedes action with a line like, "And then the Doctor told them his plan." This the first Doctor book for Kindle with which I have been highly unsatisfied.
