Doctor Who: The Nightmare of Black Island

The most well-written Doctor Who book out there. I don't care- it got the tone of Doctor and Rose perfectly, I loved the all the details that he put in, the setting and the plot were great, and as if that weren't enough, there was a lighthouse.

Solid Doctor Who story. I'll be checking out more of these audiobooks.

É tão estranho ouvir o líder dos Krillitanes dar a voz ao Doctor e Rose (embora ache que ele fez melhor a voz desta última).

This is a pretty solid adventure for 10 and Rose, which tries to be the more traditional spooky/horror story that series 2 never quite had. Up until some of the more interesting eldritch and body horror concepts at the conclusion, the majority of the story feels a little uninspired. There's not much to explore character wise, so we spend a lot of time on build up and uninteresting padding. Not bad by any means but I can see the potential in the concepts here, and they feel underutilised for the sake of mystery.
