Torchwood: Another Life by Peter Anghelides
1.0
I love Torchwood. Love the characters, the story lines, all of it. So when I found out there were books, I REALLY wanted to love them, too.
I didn't. Well, for the most part, I didn't. The plot kind of dragged. A lot. There were many typos/wrong word usages. One that had my fiber-arts loving back up was "crotchet edge". It is crochet! *ahem*
The thing that really made it very difficult for me to finish reading this book was the switching between third person and whatever it's called when you tell a story in "you"-form. Completely and utterly jarring. At first I thought it might be to have an obvious distinction between our heroes and the bad guy, except it happened in hero moments, too.
I did like the portrayal of the crew. Tosh might have had a little more spunk to her than what I remember her having around the time this story supposedly plays out, but I liked it.
