rating: ★★weeping angels, as always, steal the show in their terrifying, twisted ways. writing was solid and told the story in an enjoyable tongue-in-cheek narration style. the biggest problem i had with this story is that it's centered mostly around mark, an average joe with a lot of relationship drama, and most of the plot is recycled from season one's episode father's day. as intriguing as his race against the clock was, i just couldn't root for him and his wife because they had a lot ofIn the last review I wrote for a BBC Doctor Who novel, I pointed out they were written for a young audience. Which is a bit ironic, considering the content of this one.There are Weeping Angels who throw a man back in time, to a point before his wife is killed. He and the TARDIS crew spent the bulk of the novel making sure his younger self (and history) stay on track. It's a surprisingly mature tale, and given the inevitable attempt to stave off the wife's death, a surprisingly un-maudlin one.
This book is a story of love, loss, suspense and action with some timey-whimey shenanigans thrown into the mix, as well.What's especially interesting is how many loops, twists and turns there are in this book. For starters, the woman at the start of the book - Rebecca Whitaker - is actually in a loving relationship with her husband, Mark. It's a nice change of pace to have them be madly in love with each other while still having their up's and downs.It's very realistic.Another thing is that Mark
This has some of my favorite characters in it. Fantastic story. Loved it.
Eight years after his wife's death, Mark Whitaker receives a letter from his future self, giving him instructions on how to save her. But why are the Weeping Angels following Mark? And can The Doctor, with Rory and Amy in tow, stop the Weeping Angels from rewriting history? Of course he can! He's the Doctor...I got this from Netgalley.I have a few Doctor Who tie-in novels under my belt at this stage in the game and few of them really manage to capture the feel of a Doctor Who episode. Touched By
This was the first Doctor Who media tie-in book I've read, despite being a fan of the show for years now. The knock against them (or at least what I've been told) is that they are written in a "younger readers" tone, and therefore only hold interest to the show's younger fans. But since I love the Weeping Angels and could tell that I could probably finish this is about a day or two, I decided to give this one a whirl. It certainly wasn't bad, and I didn't really get the "young readers" vibe from
This was my first Doctor Who book, and I'm rather underwhelmed. We learn a bit about the main character, Mark Whitaker, but even he feels a bit two-dimensional. The Doctor whizzes around trying to prevent him causing a disaster, and Amy and Rory are just props with no real impact on the story. The whole thing felt shallow, with no meaningful interaction between the Doctor and his companions. The story is OK, I did want to know the end and I did finish the book, but it was somewhat blah. I'll try
