Doctor Who: The Price of Paradise,
By
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Price Of Paradise (Hardcover)
Doctor Who: The Price of Paradise isn't going to make it on a list of the greatest books of all time. It isn't going to make you think deep thoughts or stay up thinking about it late at night. What it is is a straight forward Doctor Who story with Rose and the 10th Doctor that is smart, action packed and highly enjoyable. Some great light reading.

you want it?,
By RockN'theDarkPlace "fem la fangs" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Price Of Paradise (Hardcover)
You want the doctor? You've got the doctor. You want Rose? You've got Rose. You want wit and a twisty space plot? You've got those too. You want a complete summary of the book? Go somewhere else, I'm just here to tell you that this book is really good, and if you miss Rose/Doctor humor, peril, and repressed emotions, you should most definatly read it. Think of it as a missing episode, and you won't dissapointed.

No classic, but a good effort with recognizable characters,
By A. Gammill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Price Of Paradise (Hardcover)
For those who miss Rose Tyler, this is a nice reminder of what she brought to the Doctor Who universe. The dialogue from both Rose and the Doctor is very much like the flesh-and-blood characters on the show. The story itself is really nothing new to anyone who's read much sci-fi (or watched much Star Trek, for that matter), but it's still enjoyable. My only other minor complaint (SPOILERS AHEAD) is that the Doctor and Rose are separated for extended portions of the story. I've always found the most enjoyable stories, and episodes, are those in which the Time Lord and his companion get to work together and bounce ideas and such off one another.A good, quick read for fans of the show. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Kind of a classic...,

This review is from: Doctor Who: The Price Of Paradise (Hardcover)
The story is a mystery set on an alien planet. There is action, adventure, monsters, but not a lot of gore or violence. The Tenth Doctor is at his best when trying to solve the mystery, pulling all the clues together in one big pile and working on them till he gets an answer. Both Rose and the Doctor seem to be in character and the setting is interesting, along with a few of the ideas that make up the theme of the novel. The idea of a truly balanced planet, where everything in nature works together, is the main merit of this paradise. And its greatest danger.A good travel book. Light, solid, worth a once over. Has the feeling of a young adult novel or a Doctor Who episode from the 60's and 70's. |
