Doctor Who: Scratchman by Tom Baker, James Goss
4.5
Rating: 4.5 stars
So yeah, Scratchman was great, but I never had any doubt about that. This book is an ice cream sundae. It's almost impossible to make a bad sundae: you have your ice cream ready in your bowl are about to decorate your dessert with chocolate, rainbow sprinkles, caramel syrup and, I don't know, more ice cream. As long as you like all the options (which any sane person would), there is no way you could muck this up. Well, unless you added tomato sauce, then you are both an idiot for trying it and a manic for even thinking about it (that was one of my dad's cautionary tales, ice cream and tomato sauce, yech). So when you have the ingredients of the Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan, with Tom Baker as the author (co-author but whatever) and narrator if you choose the audio (which I recommend you do) and you add in some horror elements, any combination is going to be, well, delicious, if we are continuing with the metaphor.
