About Time 6: The Unauthorized Guide to Doctor Who by Lars Pearson, Robert Shearman, Tat Wood

cecesloth's review against another edition

4.0

Not quite as tight as previous volumes, but this series still reigns as the ultimate guide to the best show ever

zmull's review against another edition

3.0

With respect to Tat Wood, the absence of Lawrence Miles is really felt in this volume. Worse, the McCoy era is certainly a time Miles would have an interesting perspective on. As it is, many sections are tedious in a way earlier volumes were not.

I’ve read various of this series over the years, but I’d forgotten how mean-spirited they are. Lots of sarcastic digs at, well everything. Time to call it a day on the series.

nwhyte's review against another edition

http://nhw.livejournal.com/1032098.html[return][return]As in previous volumes, Wood's sarcastic yet affectionate humour makes it a good read, even though it's the period of the programme's history I probably know least well. There are some brilliantly sardonic one-liners which I was regrettably unable to refrain from reading aloud to anyone who would listen. The explanatory essays are as good as ever. Slightly disappointed with the editing - there seem to be a lot more typoes than usual, and some other structural glitches as well. But any serious fan needs to get this.
