Doctor Who: O Prisioneiro dos Daleks
by Trevor Baxendale
I read this book in two days. It was an easy and entertaining read, especially because it was an adventure starring my favourite Doctor and the villains were the Daleks, being their classic single-minded cruel selves.
What I liked the most about this book was the setting. Unfortunately, when we talk about the tv show, a lot of ideas of scenery and creatures can not be filmed because of budget reasons, but when you are reading a book, the author can go wild and describe alien planets and people that are completely different than anything seen before.
The background story was very interesting and it was detailed enough that you understood why things were happening, but not too much that you get tired of reading about it. It is a complicated balance, after all, especially when we talk about Doctor Who, that offers the opportunity for any writer to choose not only the place but also the time the story will happen.
The Tenth Doctor's voice is also very present, and it definitely could have been an episode of the show. I missed seeing a companion of the show, of course, but it was a great story.
