Milujem Doctora. Ale toto proste nebolo dobré. Respektíve príbeh bol zaujímavý. Ale preklad je totálne príšerný. Nikdy viac nečítam Doctora v češtine. Odteraz už len v angličtine. Takto si ho kaziť nebudem.
A akurát keď som sa cezeň preniesla a začala si užívať príbeh, tak prišli klauni. Nemám rada klaunov :D
Každopádne to bolo zaujímavé a rada by som to videla ako nejakú epizódu seriálu :)

To me, this book felt a little weak at least 3/4 of its entirety. However, the last part of the book really stands out as we see a very emotional moment for The Doctor.
The idea for this new nemesis is really interesting but the way the difficlties are overcome really lefts a lot to ask for. Even when its plot could be better, I find myself giving a 3 out of 5 because of the characterization of Clara and The Doctor which is marvelous.
All in all, it was a good read but I believe the idea of The Shroud could have been better developed

I loved this book. It absolutely captured the style of Matt Smiths doctor which made it an easy read. The 'monster' was definitely new but I felt was just a little much when compared to the usual goofy style of Smiths doctor. I would recommend it for lovers of the series but just advise them to be prepared to take parts of it with a grain of salt.

Well, what to say... I liked the book, but it wasn't the best and not exactly what I expected. Everything happened almost too fast and although it sort of made sense, this would probably be one of those average episodes of the show - sort of good, but not the best. The Doctor was brilliant and it was very easy to picture him and everything he said and did was exactly what 11 would say and do, but sometimes he was a bit too silly. Clara was brilliant as well and I loved the planet they were just leaving at the beginning of the book (and maybe I'd rather like to read that story instead). The ending was quick as well, but I didn't dislike it.
Another reason this book seemed so weird to me might be the fact that after four years, this was the first book I read in my first language and although our Doctor Who fanclub worked with the translators, some of the common Doctor Who expressions were a bit weird.
The book was not bad, but I give it 3/5 stars.

Introduction of a neat villain in The Shroud; entities that prays on the grief of humans.
I liked the beginning, establishing the motivation of The Shroud. There's a lot of grief to feed on the day after the assassination of JFK.
The one time companions Mae and Warren were quite predictable. I thought for most of the time the author had the proper Doctor's voice.
I had a hard difficulty accepting who fought The Shroud with the Doctor, but that's something that could have been much more ridiculous and in a surprising way it worked.
For me, what elevated this from a 3 to 4 stars is how the personal grief of the Doctor was portrayed. Sure, the author didn't invent those moments, but he chose them well and I emotionally responded to those glimpses from a past that, as a fan, I have lived through too.
A neat little story which basically works well and isn't too ambitious (not sure that's a compliment), but succeeds in its goal to entertain.

The story was good. The idea was creative and had a lot of potential, but oh my gawd, EDIT. I found so many errors! One of which was a BIG one! Clara was talking to herself! When it was supposed to be Mae... Sigh. If I'm paying full price for a book, it should have been proof read.
