I loved this book. Consisting entirely of e-mails between Russell T. Davies (show-runner for the New Doctor Who Series through the first 4 seasons + year of specials) and Benjamin Cook (journalist from the Doctor Who Magazine), we given a behind the scenes look at how the last two years of Doctor Who (under Davies) came together.
The most interesting aspect of the book is seeing how insecure Mr. Davies could be, despite the brilliant work he produced. He's also quite the procrastinator, something I could relate to a lot.
I don't think everyone will love the book as much as I did...you really have to enjoy the behind the scenes look at the writing process. I'm sure some readers won't care about that...instead looking for juicy tidbits about the production (there are quite a few of those as well, but it isn't the bulk of this large book).
I highly recommend this to Doctor Who fans who are interesting in the creative process. I also recommend it to anyone who wants to know what running a large show like this entails.

I absolutely loved this book. When I bought it, I was expecting a behind-the-scenes look at Doctor Who (one of my favorite shows), but was pleasantly surprised with how personal and emotional it turned out to be. Throughout the book - written as emails between Davies and Cook - you really got to see inside Davies' head and experience his happiness, joy, sorrow, and turmoil as he wrote for Doctor Who. I laughed and cried (sometimes I cringed) and genuinely hated finishing it.
