The Beast of Babylon by Charlie Higson
3.0
2.75/5 stars
This novel was interesting. I was excited to get to this one because the 9th doctors is one of my favorites, but I was a little disappointed. Maybe it was just me but this didn't really feel like the 9th doctor, something was just off. I also thought the plot was a little boring and not overall exciting. I did like though the mysteriousness of Ali, she was kind of like a puzzle, especially since she was never explained in real detail till towards the end of the story. My favorite part though was the incorporation of the zodiac signs, I thought it was a cool little addition.
All in all this was not my favorite of the short stories but wasn't my least favorite. I look forward to continuing on with the remaining doctors.
