4.0 out of 5 stars
It's Been (Sur)Real!,
By Kevin L. Nenstiel "omnivore" (Kearney, Nebraska) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Short Trips and Side Steps (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) (Paperback)
This collection of short stories turns a lot of conventions on its head by ignoring them. The Doctor from the two movies staring Peter Cushing is just as real as the others. The Ninth Doctor has a history. The Fourth Doctor and Romana have a thing going on. The Doctor can be presented as a parody of himself. The wildly separated stories present views not only of the Doctor from television, but the Doctor from the future and parallel Doctors. There are enough views of all the different Doctors that not every story will be equally enjoyable to all people. (Thus four rather than five stars.) However, every long-term fan of Doctor Who will find enough in this book to hold their attention and keep them coming back for more. It's worth getting. Just bear in mind that you'll be disappointed a few times.
