Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Genocide (Dr. Who Series) (Paperback)
If you find Saving The Whales, The Rainforests and ecology a boring subject, don't bother with this book. But, if you care, even a little, read on! An odd book that brings back Jo Grant and UNIT. It is interesting to see how the Doctor's companions have fared after falling back into their old lives. Seems the life of anyone the Doctor touches is changed by it somehow or other. If you travel in the Tardis, you're never the same. Jo Grant is a typically unhappy member of the human race as a divorced single mother. When the chance to work with the Doctor comes up again after several decades she grasps at it like a life saver to a drowning victim. The horse-like society that is wiped out is fascinating. You find yourself wishing there was some way of saving it and that the Doctor didn't have to be such a stickler for the Proper Flow of Time. The only problem is with the way the narrative goes back and forth. The story starts near the end, which is a good way to start. You wonder how in the world the Doctor got into such a state! This will hook you into staying with the story; and you will need to be hooked because it sometimes becomes boring and predictable. Still, it is an original story creating a wonderful new race of beings. Good show!

Shocking!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Genocide (Dr. Who Series) (Paperback)
This book will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page - I had no idea how the Doc would get out of this one! Finally, Doctor Who fans encounter an alien race that is not out to conquer the universe, but instead to simply preserve themselves and their culture! It has suspense, action, and a more thought provoking plot than I've seen in Doctor Who in quite some time! Highly recommended!

The best of the BBC 8th Doctor range yet!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Genocide (Dr. Who Series) (Paperback)
>All in all, I'm veryimpressed. It's the first Who book in a long time that I finished in less than a day (and that being a work day as well). The story was very gripping, but well thought out as well. The balance between action and thought provoking reading is balanced. It's not often that a book pulls this off. It also manages to really develop the charecter of the 8th Doctor, essential for an early book in the range. Great Stuff. END
