Clever and timely

I've read a good many of the Doctor books these past six years, and this is easily one of the best. It's creative, layered, vivid, true-to-form, lively, and timely. This is a great place to start if you've never read one and it's a great next read if you have. In fitting style to the current Moffat Who-niverse, it's chock full of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. And it's got great characterization. I am looking forward to this author's next foray into Doctor territory.

Good plot, bad treatment of characters

This is the first Dr Who book I've read, I am an avid fan of the new televised series, Season 1 to 6. It is a nice adventure, assuming the characters from the TV show. The book would not stand alone because it is assumed you already know the main characters. I do not want to spoil the plot...it is believable in conjunction with the TV series, but I think the author took too much liberty in her interpretation of the characters.
Rory Williams from TV is very intelligent and surprisingly strong. He is so humble and respectful towards women to a point that he will let women put him down but not let it personally affect him. But the author has him bumbling around in an over-sized suit, acting like an idiot and calling for Amy on his cell phone just because he is scared. I also do not believe that Amy Pond from TV would really borrow time to get her hair and nails done, or visit her parents...she has had enough time to do that when she is not "working."

Great Dr Who Book

The characterizations in this book are so similar to the television series that it reads like an episode. I could easily picture the action and the characters while the plot kept me guessing all the way through the end.
