This
was my first time ever reading a Doctor Who novel. The short story (The Death
Pit) turned novel took place on the Fetch Brothers Golf Spa Hotel. Something
vicious lurked about the grounds, swallowing golfers, creating telepathic
fields (breaking up marriages through mind reading) and the loss of memory and
information, practically leaving people daft.
The
Doctor and his two companions, Putta
Pattershaun, a fearful alien and wanna-be bounty hunter and Bryony
Mailer, a bored stuck-in-limbo Junior Day Receptionist, set out to solve the
monstrous mystery. Their foe, a complex creature that’s been around since the
beginning of time, is serpentine and frightening and puzzling, the Doctor
actually admits to being afraid. That's a major deal.
Let me just say
I love the Dr Who TV series; I did not like this novel. Each sentence had an
inordinate amount of words and it was difficult to read through. I would much
rather see and hear the dialog on the screen. Although the story was funny and
oddly written, just like a Doctor Who story and possibly diehard fans will love
reading it.
I
received a copy of the book from Blogging for Books for my review.
