The reason I wanted to read (well listen since it's only available as an audio book) this Doctor Who book was because there seemed to be vampires involved. Vampires + David Tennant = Super cool.

Not terrible, not great. The story seemed to be spun out a bit long.
Cheesy but interesting.
If you like the Doctor and you're bored, listen to it.
