4 out of 5 stars good pace but disapointing end   April 20, 2008
the book flowed well and was well detailed in description but i found the 'monster in the well' to be dull and pretty uneventful - comparing it to other doctor who books that kept you gripped, the ending for me was a bit predictable - sorry!


3 out of 5 stars Wishing Well   April 8, 2008
The 10th Doctor and Martha find themselves up against an alien weed creature that is hidden beneath an ancient well in this BBC Books novel. 'Wishing Well' has some nice characterisation, a dash of humour, and some pleasantly creepy moments - the only downside is the complete lack of any original ideas, with the novel coming over as a rather generic 'alien monster of the week'.

Well written (pun not intended) but uninspired, 'Wishing Well' will certainly entertain anyone looking for a dose of the Doctor for a two or three hours, but this is a novel that will be forgotten within an hour of turning the last page.



4 out of 5 stars An entertaining read..   January 4, 2008

Another good addition to the series of Doctor Who tie-in novels. The central mystery of the story is gripping and plays out well, keeping the reader intruiged. The supporting characters are well-drawn and, above all, the characterisation of the Doctor and Martha is good. Elements of the denouement are perhaps a little reminiscent of similar events in other recent Doctor Who novels such as Wetworld and The Feast of the Drowned but overall the story idea is interesting and well written. Overall, a very enjoyable read.
