| Synopsis: Laylora, the Paradise Planet, is a world of breath-taking beauty, where peace-loving Aboriginals supposedly live in harmony with their environment. The Doctor and Rose arrive to answer a distress signal from a group of scientists, only to find that the once-perfect eco-system is showing signs of failing. |
A Review by John Seavey 18/11/07
There are things I liked about this book, and nothing I could say I really disliked... but on the whole, it's sort of weak tea. Nothing bad about the flavor you get, but you really wish there was more of it. The characters are sympathetic, but not particularly personable; the monsters are interesting, but not particularly scary; the central twist is clever, but in a fairly predictable way. It's not bad, and I can pretty much guarantee you won't come away disliking it, but at the same time, I just can't see anyone claiming this as their favorite Doctor Who book.
