HEART OF STONE
Really not the best story written at all and whilst I've read worse Doctor Who novels I have read many more that are of a higher standard than this one. Being part of a 2in1 omnibus, at 200 pages long and being aimed at children I really didn't expect too much from this book. But there are alot of childrens books out there that are just as appealing to adults. Okay I didn't really expect the next "Harry Potter" but this was just lazy writting. The plot must have taken all of two mi...more

Death Riders is formula Richards rather than e...more

This book came free with an issue of the Doctor Who kids magazine. I was expecting it to be totally dire. A kids book about an Evil carnvial and roller coaster! What were they thinking? But honestly it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected and parts of it were quite enjoyable. First of all it started with the death of someone which is good. Then Rory and the Doctor were written very well, they acted and sounded like Rory and the Doctor should. There was an intersting scifi setting, a mining colony...more
i loved it
Fairly good for the age range at which it's aimed, but a bit over-simplified for grown-ups.
Much too childish for me to enjoy. And that's saying something, since I am easily amused.
Such a funny book, loved it.
