2 out of 5 stars a childrens book   July 18, 2008
wasnt too impressed, mainly read it as i wanted more Dr Who action after the end of the most excellent last series.
Parts of the book will date very quickly, the story seems to plod along for the first halp and get slighley more interesting, i was hoping this would have the same appeal as the series as in anyone can watch Dr Who from 8-80 but this book is firmly in the young reader/teenage section, not overly entertaining or gritty

Rollicking good fun. The Doctor's abstracted, twinkly personality is particularly nicely drawn. I couldn't help thinking Harry Hill would turn up as the badger pirate-in-chief, and we all know a Mrs Wingsworth. Messing around with time can be tiresome, but the narrative keeps you guessing. Vivid descriptions and suitably barmy humour reflecting a quirkily individual mind-set.

A straightforward comic space opera for young and old. Kids will love the humour and easily identifiable characters; adults will appreciate the joie-de-vivre of it all. Guerrier tells his audience a simple parable of emancipation and redemption, while mucking around with pink ray-guns, space badgers, and quantum scrambled egg - and for the "Doctor Who" fans, he gets the regular characters spot-on, particularly the it's-cool-to-be-clever Martha Jones. Enjoy!

This is probably the funniest Doctor Who that I have read to date (and I have read most of them). Admittedly it is cheesy and corny in places but it all ties in with the humor which is rhythmic thoughout.
