My first decide your destiny book; a Doctor Who one, no less. Sent to me by the darling that is Natalia.
I read it 3 times, all going down different routes with it; although they crossed paths with each other; it was never boring and it was such fun! No matter what you choose; you get a fast paced, action packed adventure with Ten and Martha, both whom were written so canon; what more does one want?

I somewhat picked this book up on a whim and was looking for a short read to pass some time when I couldn’t sleep, and this one sitting on my shelf fit the bill! It certainly provided entertainment and I had not expected to be one of the main characters, helping the Doctor and Martha save a war torn planet from murderous robots.

It was a novel reading experience and a fun one. From the first page, you’re faced with your first choice and whatever you decide will impact the story. A turn left and go to page 42 and turn right to go to page 89 kinda thing, made the story a unique experience for you. The concept is great and cleverly written.

I had about 4 or 5 go throughs off the book, each time encountering a slightly different story and a different alternate ending. It was short, sharp and snappy so don’t expect anything to deep or meaningful of a read. It’s a succinct beginning to end with a quick solution and the TARDIS is dematerialising into the distance before you know it.

It was great though taking slightly different decisions on each read and watching how that changes the outcome. I enjoyed the experience and would read a similar format again. A strong 3.5 stars in all as towards the end I did feel a bit duty bound to have all the pages read so I could ‘complete’ the book and say I’d read everything!

Reading this book, you have to make decisions which help you to move on through the story. Funny but the story itself is not that spectacular. Still, it was fun....for the short period of time it lasted.

Very cute, read it in about 5 minutes.

It was alright, although I only needed to choose two or three times so that took a little bit of the fun out of the whole "decide your destiny" thing

I've read a few of these books and this one was more exciting them some of the other but the first ending I got was boring, the second ending was better.
