Obviously, I listened to this book because it was narrated by David Tennant, and, yes, it was completely worth it. I have not read any other Doctor Who books, but I do enjoy the show, especially the witty 10th Doctor with amazing hair ;-)This story was typical of a Doctor Who episode: creepy alien invasion, somewhat campy dialog, inevitable victory. Tennant's narration was a pleasure to listen to, as he read in his native Scottish accent unless he was reading the Doctor's dialog and he suddenlyThis was a good story but couldnt help thinking of The Water of Mars. My favorite line in perfect Ten voice," Now that Mickey the untrained civilian has a hand grenade, oh yes, everything is going to be fine. I could just picture The Doctor saying it and the look on Mickeys face as he did!I love that David Tennant reads the narrative in his Scottish accent and the Doctor bits as the voice Whovians know so well and his voicing of Mickey is fantastic!Of course it makes me want to go back and watch

Sadly, the only reason this book has three stars is because its Doctor Who. The story seems to fit the usual brand of sci-fi mystery adventure. The premise is interesting and the prose is fitting, but it was not among my favorite Doctor Who stories.The biggest problem I had with this book was the pacing. The story had my attention for a good amount of time, but nearly halfway through the book I found myself waiting for the resolution. Yet the book continued on...and on. In short, this book
Tennant is my favourite Doctor, so I was looking forward to this one. His personality came through in places, but it was still quite generic in others. I found the plot and the conclusion just a bit too hard to swallow. This title will not make it to my top ten.
Doctor Who: The Feast of the Drowned Review I miss David Tennant as the Doctor. Matt Smith was okay, and Peter Capaldi does a serviceable job, but Tennant's still the best to have tackled the role since the series was rebooted. I'm kinda hoping Doctor Who goes away for a while so that they can start fresh again with another reboot, let's say, ten years from now. The writing of the most recent season is crap, and I think Capaldi is fighting an uphill battle. Either hire new writers or take a
Having previously read various other Doctor Who 'New Series Adventures', I had concluded long before starting this that it would be my final read in the ongoing series. The novel started fast paced, and introduced the (as always) likeable characters from the very start. Despite being compelling in the earlier chapters, the story began to feel dragged out as it progressed, and consequently the novel inevitably ended up taking longer to complete than originally expected. Regardless of this, the
