A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Nightmare Of Black Island (Hardcover)
I am nine years old and a big fan of Doctor Who. This is the first Doctor Who book I have read. When I started reading this book, I could not put it down and I had to finish it that night. I could get a very good picture in my head of what was happening. It's about as good as the TV series.

My first - and still my favorite!, Jun 19 2008
By Amy Capuano - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Nightmare Of Black Island (Hardcover)
After jumping head-first into the world of Doctor Who a few months ago, I quickly found that simply watching the show was not enough. I decided to take the plunge and start reading the novels too. This happened to be the book I chose and wow, I could not have picked a better one! Mike Tucker really knows his Ten, and Rose - their voices and interaction with each other are spot-on! The story itself is very well-written; it's scary, thought-provoking, and even funny at times, just as all good DW adventures should be!
I've since read three more of the DW novels, and have found that none of them compare to this one - in quality of writing, character development, or plot. If you're interested in getting into these books, this is certainly the place to start!

Dr Fixit Does It Again, Sep 14 2007
By Dr. Fred R. Eichelman "arous" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Nightmare Of Black Island (Hardcover)
The Dr. Who books, devoted to the last three years, are formulistic and basicially themed alike. Ordinarily this would be a problem, but with these chracters it is a delight. Kind of like the Bond films and Sherlock Holmes pistaches. We expect something of The Doctor and we are not let down. Certainly "The Nightmare of Black Island" does not let the reader down and it is fast moving from cover to cover. As I said in a previous review, the books that have Rose Tyler make you miss her even more. However, the new partner on TV has grown on my family and I look forward to the books that include her. What has helped in this series of books is that the authors know who they are writing about Some, like Mike Tucker, have been associated with the TV series.
