Great fun
This book will be adored by Doctor Who fans and may even create new ones. I am really looking forward to sharing this at school and getting the children's opinions/reviews.
All stars
Most relevant
The story reads like a Dungeons and Dragons adventure or a sci-fi RPG which is no bad thing.

Brilliantly read in the Doctor Who tradition - making great use of accents and alien voices... the story is littered with pop culture references, song lyrics and WHO-niverse Easter eggs.

Really good fun
