A review by ianbanks
Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen by Terrance Dicks
3.0
Mr Dicks novelises a beloved Troughton classic. This is a pretty standard novelisation: it doesn’t add terribly much detail but it give the universe a nice lived-in feel. The Great Intelligence, combined with the setting, gives this a tense, claustrophobic feel and the running around in corridors - an essential part of any Who story - seems to be kept to a minimum here. The characters are given some depth but only enough to engender some conflict between them. Fun and far from the depths that the Target range would deliver before too many more years were up.
