Brilliant, the best of the tenth doctor books so far that ive read.... - Rated
The prologue of this book is scary as flaming hell. A real creepy setting and really good action. immediately gets you hooked into a book of nightmares and young children and ancient evil. This book is thoroughly rivetting. A good plot and many scary moments written by a Doctor Who pro. Mike Tucker is an excellent writer with dark stories and this one is in the same league as the macabre and dark Matrix, a brilliant read! this should be made into a tv episode. it really actually does happen to be that good.!!!!!

So I began listening to the suave and silky tones of the wonderful Anthony Head. I liked the descriptions and the scene-setting of the novel but the whole effect was somewhat spoiled by my realisation of two things:
1). This is simply an attempt to rekindle the excitement of the spooky lighthouse story done so well with 4th Dr story 'The Horror Of Fang Rock'.
2). This is another book that just lifts an old books ideas wholesale in order to pass them off as its own. Hello H.G. Wells 'The Island Of Doctor Moreau'! It's a straight lift with the only slight difference being that the monsters come from the childrens Id rather than being created by a mad scientist!
If people don't know their novel history are we to be left with the same old stories being endlessly retold and recycled? What a disappointment. Nice reading though, which is what adds a star.
Delightful Read - Rated
I no I have given all the doctor who books i have reviemed 5stars, ut there is one detail you need to consider. Many of the other books (by different authors) were BRILLIANT but if i was 9 (wich i'm not i am 11) i would find them very hard to get through. but with this book, it is easy to get through! I wud give this book 11/10 for it's wonderful descriptions and perfect plot!
P.S. if you r a yob u wont agree on my bit about the wonderful descriptions
The Monster Mash! - Rated
The 4th in BBC Books series of 10th Doctor novels finds the Doctor and Rose confronting nightmarish monsters in a coastal Welsh town and strange goings on in a sinister rest home for the elderly. While the Welsh setting maybe rather over familiar from the current TV series this book is stuffed full of more rampaging monster action than even the television producers could ever afford, and author Mike Tucker does well to inject some classic late 70's style Doctor Who horror atmosphere into the proceedings, making this a book which should be enjoyed by fans old and new alike. One of the best of the BBC Doctor Who novels for younger readers and those young at heart readers looking for a pacy pulp adventure. Good stuff.
The Doctor battles monsters in Wales - Rated
This book is a very entertaining, albeit brief, read, full of the usual quips we are used to from the television series. Mike Tucker has perfectly captured the character of the Doctor and Rose in his novel and rattles along the story at a cracking pace so it very much feels like an episode from the tv show. It has some creepy moments but all in all is perfect for all fans of the show.
