Negative Positive
Title: A characteristically mediocre New Adventure
Review: In Orman's first Doctor Who novel, the Seventh Doctor, Ace, and Benny fight an entity from Aztec times that is a sort of Blishian Jack-the-Ripper character, surviving on death and destruction. I'm afraid that this book did nothing to change my lack of enthusiasm for Doctor Who novels: if I want good science fiction, I'll read good science fiction. If I want good character pieces, I'll read fanfic. This mishmash succeeds at neither, and I'm not singling out Orman - that's my capsule opinion of all of the Doctor Who New Adventures, with rare exceptions.
Is the review positive or negative?
