nicolamb's review against another edition
2.0
I didn't really like this one, it was hard to get into at the start and I didn't like the way it went into the Doctors thoughts as they didn't seem to fit him well. Then ending was also really confusing, leaving a lot of questions unanswered. Overall it left me completely unsatisfied.

A few well-aimed digs at the cult of celebrity, and the effective portrayal of Leela, rather sink into a peculiar writing idiom (adopted only for some passages, but still very annoying), the very unevenly sketched world and society in which our heroes find themselves for this adventure, and a plot which barely hangs together.
