My second Doctor Who book, after Touched By an Angel. I thought this one was better than Touched By an Angel. On the way to the Rambalian Cluster, the Doctor, Rory, and Amy find themselves in London in the year of 2789. They walk on a archaeological dig. The dig finds a robot that calls for the Doctor. Meanwhile in London on the year of 1910, bat like creatures terrorize London. The Doctor and company must stop these creatures or the world will be devoured.It was an easy read, and took me aboutThis is an entertaining story, but one that is let down by the quality of writing which at times is a bit Dick and Dora-ish and clunky (with lines like "Rory looked at Amy. He couldn't believe she married him. He was the luckiest man in the world.")What makes this story work are the characters that The Doctor, Rory and Amy meet. For once there is a truly happy ending, and it was nice to see, especially after a middle section which lags and becomes a bit boring.
Similar to Doctor Who: The Way Through the Woods as this Eleventh Doctor story is set over two time periods. As The Doctor travels back to 1910, whilst Amy and Rory stay in London 2789 after an ancient android is dredged from the Thames.The sections set in the past are the strongest in this novel, I really liked the interaction between The Doctor and Professor Angelchrist.I wanted to rush over the Amy and Rory scenes to get back to the past!The Squall are a great alien that really added jeopardy
Hmm. Not bad. Not outstanding either, but a pretty enjoyable tie-in book - one that I could easily see working as an actual Doctor Who episode (apart from me having given up on actual Doctor Who episodes with Eleven so in this sense, this was a lot better).Anyway, the TARDIS team - albeit it was pretty much the Doctor going off doing his own thing and Amy & Rory being left to cope on their own - worked fairly well, the plot about a bunch of feasting-on-minds aliens trying to take over Earth
Great read! Completely copacetic with the show. Loved it!
I think ready four Doctor Who books in a row is my limit. This was fine. It had all the things that an episode should have, aliens trying to destroy reality, time travel, a hint of steampunk but it just felt kinda blah. The characters were written quite well (except for Rory who'd become a geek for no discernable reason.) But the Doctor and Amy were very much like themselves. One thing that was very obvious having rread three previous Doctor Who books by three different women authors was the
I immediately knew I was going to enjoy Paradox Lost, as the ignorance of the principle of 'cause and effect' always provides many mysteries to keep the reader reading. Indeed, throughout the novel there are many mysteries to solve due to time being in fact like 'noodle soup', as the Doctor so graciously puts it. Thus, with its 'timey-wimey' tendencies, Paradox Lost is a novel suited to its eleventh Doctor era. Overall, the story was very enjoyable, and was enhanced by the delightfully colourful
