Title: not for the timid
Product review: For anyone wondering why the BBC books are decreasing in sales, they need only to look at this book. It is dense, in all senses of the word. It is self-absorbed. It stinks of the same kind of over-use of angst the New Adventures perfected. Does anyone really think that this is the book that will make people want to read more Doctor Who? Like many books by men, it obsesses with the magic of "the womanly cycle" get over it! Menstruation-envy is just wrong for Doctor Who not to mention insulting. Still, that being said, when tiny threads of a plot do appear, it is a dandy. It takes the story arc into new directions. The question is, do we really want to go there? When the BBC books first came out they professed to be a breath of fresh air, free of the inbred malaise of the New Adventures. This story kicks off a change in the arc that promises to be as distasteful as any from the New Adventures.
