Doctor Who: The Glamour Chase by Gary Russell
2.0
I love Doctor Who. And while I wasn't too sure at first, I love Matt Smith's Doctor. He owns the role now and it works. I love the show and I enjoy reading the tie-in novels.
Rory features prominently here and it was so nice to see him get some credit for being bright. I'm afraid that he will end up being the tin dog of the series and I like him too much for that to happen. Seeing him take more of a strong role here was refreshing.
This one sounded interesting and, for the most part, it was. The aliens who need rescuing are a fascinating breed and would make for interesting graphics were this a televised episode.
Sometimes the novels absolutely capture the Doctor's voice and sometimes they don't. This one tried too hard to capture Matt Smith's Doctor and it was easier for me to picture David Tennant's Doctor speaking the dialogue.
The story wasn't the easiest to follow and I found myself skimming some sections, but it was a light diversion while waiting for the Christmas special!
