What a wonderful story to finally finish right before Christmas! Action, adventure, intrigue! And!... a foe we've only encountered once in the new television series... OoooOOoooOOoo!

I swear I've seen an episode of Doctor Who that read almost exactly like The Silent Stars Go By, so that was a bit annoying. However, I LOVED Touched by an Angel. Eleven is my favorite Doctor and I love Amy and Rory. All of their on-screen personas bleed through onto the page, I could just hear all of the characters in the dialogue. Touched by an Angel was really well-written and kept me on the edge of my seat just like any other episode of the show. I've never read a book accompaniment to a show before because I usually think they are silly, but this was a great read for any fan who also appreciates decent fiction.
