That was such a fun read, I read through it twice to get different routes and I enjoyed both read throughs of it. I loved how Ten and Martha were written, totally canon, and they monsters were creative, very good fun this read was, recommend to any fellow Whovian.

another lame and pointless book but if you delay your first meeting with the doctor in this it ends up being a much funnier story because it has to have all the exposition and action in like two scenes

3.5/5

I liked this one, I liked the action and the choices you can make. I didn't like the Doctor using explosives so much in it cause it doesn't seem very Doctor-like but I still liked the story.

Suddenly you are whisked away while on your way to school. You reappear in an alien lab where you have been brought (on accident) to fight in the alien arcana.

This a very quick read. I went through several times and the Doctor managed to save the day every time. Although the story was not as long or dynamic as the old Choose Your Own Adventure books, it was still a fun little story. It would be perfect for younger kids into Doctor Who or space/alien adventures.

This book is really quick and easy read. It literally took me 40 minutes to get through. I am going to go back and make different choices so I can experience all the possible outcomes. It brought back the nostalgia from the choose your own adventure books from when I was a kid.
