4.0
The audiobook version of this is well worth a listen, the narrators do a great job bringing each author's work to life. While some of the stories collected here are in other collections I didn't mind listening even to my least favorite renditions of the Doctor.
Favorite stories were The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage by Derek Landy, The Roots of Evil by Philip Reeve and A Big Hand for the Doctor by Eoin Colfer. Even for those unfamiliar with past Doctors, each story can be enjoyed without much background knowledge, or even none at all. Each has some elements of mystery, adventure and a dash of romance, just as in the television show. There is much cleverness from the Doctor, plenty of humor and in total it adds up to quite a fun listen.
I would definitely recommend this to families with kids in grades 5+ for road trip or just general car listening. You can always skip a story if it's not to your liking, but odds are the family will listen through the whole set.
