The story was fairly good, very much Doctor Who. One thing I didn't like was there wasn't much of the Doctor in the book. I felt like he was a secondary character whereas Amy, Rory, and the rest were the mains. I don't think it was worth the price I paid but still a decent read.

Without all the cliché's. I've read a lot of Doctor Who books over the years, and only recently started reading the new books. The first I read, though a good story, relied too much on cliche. It was almost as if the author didn't bother to research and learn the characters! Not so with this book! Una McCormack, whether she already is a fan and knows the characters, did a lot of research, or just got lucky (which I don't believe to be the case) she really did nail the characters both in personalities and interactions. Without using the cliche phrases, she captured the Doctor, Amy and Rory very well. This is a book worth reading, and could easily have been made into an episode for the series!
