Torchwood: Border Princes by Dan Abnett

1.0

I did something with this book that I never thought I would do again. I stopped reading it. Normally I give the book the benefit of the doubt and see if I can get through it. But this one I just wanted to give up and I did. The plot was stupid, granted it is a copy of a Series 2 episode (even though this takes place in Series 1) but at least I could make it through Adam without wanting to hurt anything. The author put in what he 'thought' where funny quips which were just in fact stupid and out of character for all who said it. The characterizations were completely off, even Gwen! It's not that hard to write Gwen but even I was questioning some of her actions, something that I don't normally do. Jack was basically made a bumbling fool and reacted to some situations like a rookie and wasn't even like the original Jack character either. There were too many attempts at trying to be funny which just came off as painful. And the fact that Gwen became so attached to James was sickening. How she could be like that ruined and even more dispicable character.
