Doctor Who: Only Human by Gareth Roberts
4.0
Now this is the funniest of the Doctor Who novels I’ve read until now. I spent most of the book laughing out loud, and the audiobook is a amazing!
So in this story the Doctor, Rose and Jack encounter a neanderthal in the 21st Century, they are not able to return him to his own time so Jack stays in charge for the next 3 months in making him a functional member of modern society, all while the Doctor and Rose go back in time to investigate the time disturbance in the past.
It’s amazingly funny! The chapters are divided in the Doctor and Rose investigation in the past and the entries of the journals of Jack and Das (the neanderthal). The journals are GOLD, Das is such a dorky character and his narration style is so funny, and Jack’s log entries are soooo star trekkie style but with the suave horny persona of Captain Jack Harkness.
During the Doctor-and-Rose adventure part of the novel they, again, separate to cover more ground but while Rose is out there being an adorable human being, the Doctor gets into trouble and the first thing he thinks is What-Would-Rose-Do? (I need to get a bracelet that says that). Nine is so adorable whenever he’s with Rose, he’s whipped.
Rose gets married to a caveman and then saves a whole tribe by herself because she’s that awesome.
Every scene is just treated like a comedy, even the danger and the life threatening situations are kind of funny.
If you think the series lacks comedy, this novel will fulfill that craving!!
