Title: Only for the fans
Review: This book is important to finish up that Dr. Who novelization collection, but lacks as literature.The televised show used wit and humor with a nice dose of slapstick. Some of this does not translate as well to the written word but most could have (as evidenced by other authors in the same genre).The writing is wordy and sometimes difficult to follow if you are reading this like most Dr. Who novels. (They usually are simplistic in vocabulary.) Cotton's use of the "journal format" of telling the story (ie Bram Stoker's Dracula) does not seem to work well for a Dr. Who novelization. While a good try, it does not seem appropriate for this story.I would reccomend instead, for the sci-fi consumer, the film version of this story (availible on VHS and PAL) which I found far more enjoyable.
Is the review positive or negative?
