Torchwood: Almost Perfect by James Goss
3.0
Actual rating: 3.5 stars
I loved reading a book on Torchwood, not just Doctor Who, for a change. I really enjoy books that belong to TV shows. They are this little external universe that could be canon or not, that can be really interesting.
Torchwood is a lot different than Doctor Who and I love the characters a lot. Captain Jack Harkness has a special place in my heart and Almost Perfect got that across pretty well. Same goes for the other characters. Ianto and Gwen are mabye not my favourite characters ever but I love them and their relationships. I know they are not perfect and they are sometimes a bit annoying but also funny and badass. The banter and welsh-ness in this book is just perfect. (Also Jack's humor)
The plot is quite interesting but it does get very weird at some points and too, I don't know, unbelievable? It's not too bad and I like the idea behind it (and that it takes the reader a long time to actually know what's going on) but it wasn't carried out as good as it could have been. But that's okay, the book is still good.
There's also a lot more gayness in it than I had expected. I like.
