4.0 out of 5 stars it is THE WHO'S WHO of WHO HATES WHO!!!!, November 25, 2005

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOCTOR.....love THE MASTER

HELLO DOCTOR...its your old "rival" THE MASTER am back again too, I see have regenerated again as well, into your 9th body, nice ears and I like your color choices.

Enough about fashion, I see that the HUMANS you are so fond of are celebrating your 40th anniversary, of course, WE KNOW you are closer to 900, don't we DOCTOR? They have published a book cataloging ALL of the enemies you have made OVER CENTURIES of MEDDLING. They have referenced a wide variety of your enemies DALEKS, Zygons, CYBERMEN, the Yeti, THE AUTONS, the Ice Warriors, THE SEA DEVILS, Cassandra, THE SLITHEEN, and MORE of your greatest and most powerful adversaries. So, I am naturally, included, but, you'll have to wait to see my current and future incarnations. You will also have to wait to see the future looks of some of the classic villains (the new look of the Cybermen did not make it to press), some these, like myself, have yet to be re-introduced to the series (maybe in the next edition). The HUMANS have included the history (first appearance, origins, etc.), such as they understand it, along with each of the said "MONSTERS". The graphics and photos throughout the 96 page tome are state-of-the-art, for this planet and this particular era's printing.

Now if you can hold out until 2065 for the 100th Anniversary Edition, is far superior. But, if you're in the 21st century and interested in learning about the galactic waiting list to make a meal of do-gooder Timelords, you might want to pick up a copy, to past the time. Farewell...Many happy returns Doctor.

your enemy,
THE MASTER

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my 9-year-old, January 16, 2007

By	F. Dores - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having an American Dr. Who fanatic (apparently a rarity), I was hard pressed to find the right book for him. This one is perfect. It delivers exactly what it promises - lots of pictures and text about monster in the Dr. Who universe. I'm not sure he's put it down (except to use his sonic screwdriver, of course).

4.0 out of 5 stars The first visual guide of Doctor Who, great!!!, June 15, 2009

By	Jorge Dejesus Sanchez "JDJ" (San Juan , Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the first of all visual guides of BBC Doctor Who.
Ir shows the 9th Doctor and Rose, but almost the 70% of the Book is about the oldest Doctor's foes ! Like the Daleks. Very detail visuals about the Sliteen and other enemies of the 9th Doctor. It is a must for any Doctor Who Fan. This books are far more educational and complete than the Doctor Who enciclopedia, buy all the volumes with the great visuals and detail explanations rater than the "Enciclopedia"
