When I read the blurb on the back and it said Gandhi was in the story...well, I had to buy it. How can I resist the Mahatma with the Doctor? <br /> <br />The story is excellent. My only concern was that slamming Gandhi into the story may have been a good excuse to let the plot sag a bit, but my fears were false. This is a rocking good story and a lot of fun to read. <br /> <br />Reading Doctor Who is never going to rival "literature" but there is nothing wrong with a book just for fun in between all the serious books, you know?

Googling, I found this title, and ordered. <br /> <br />My only complaint was that it was too short. Really looks like a screenplay, as the produced version would have been about an hour. I read it in three stints, and the last one wasn't very long. It was a hot week, and I would have liked about twice as long. Other than that it was classic- if one dare use the term- Doctor and Donna. Very satisfying. <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 There’s still nothing like a book by the pool, and, despite my owning a video copy of every episode since #1- Hartnell, not Eckleston- and having the audios, I decided there are times you just need a book.
