A review by izumisano
Doctor Who Omnibus Volume 1 by John Reppion, Tony Lee, Leah Moore, Gary Russell
2.0
This book is divided into 3 parts: Agent Provocateur, several one shots, and The Forgotten.
I hated Agent Provocateur. It didn't feel like a strong story. The conclusion was rushed and almost skipped over. What's the point then?
The one shots were ok, but would have been better if they were longer and actually developed a story.
The Forgotten was another compilation of all the Doctor's regenerations. It's pretty much a greatest hits of his personalities and his companions. I have read several of them and have come to realize I hate this format. There's hardly any story because they are too busy piling in the Doctor's catch phrases to have him really say something. Also if you haven't watched old Who, much of it just goes over your head. I think they use this to their advantage because some of the personalities weren't right.
