4.0 out of 5 stars Excellently Creepy Read, March 19, 2008

It might not win any awards for being the most original novel, but that's not really the point, right? There are some familiar elements here to anyone who's seen or read the Doctor's adventures. But that doesn't stop the story from being a fun, quick read.

The central mystery and threat in the story is suitably creepy, and in some ways quite frightening considering the all-ages intent of the books, and quite good for it. As well as getting the Doctor and Martha right in tone, the author also successfully creates some interesting guest characters for you to care and worry about.

This was the first Doctor Who book that I had read. I enjoyed it so much that I've been buying them ever since. They're all so much fun to read.

So I'm a fan of David Tennant from way back in his Casanova days. I really liked him as the 10th Doctor, but I can not stand the companion in this book! Nor can I stand her in the series. If you've ever seen the show. It's just like that. Thought the book might tweak the character to less of a whine, but no!
