100 Doctor Who adventures paired with fan art in this beautiful book!

From the 1st Doctor to the 12th Doctor readers are provided a look into some of the most mermorable moments for the Doctor and those who travel with him. Each adventure is paired with one (or two/three) pieces of fan art that connects to the adventure and Doctor: And these pieces of fan art are gorgeous and add a special touch to the book.

As a fan of the show I have only been able to see the current doctors and see the past doctors in specials or clips. Therefore, I LOVED that this allowed me a small look into the beginning Doctors.

Published only last month (November 2017) this book provides summaries of 100 select Doctor Who TV stories with original art drawn by fans, including 2017's “The Pilot” and “Smile”
This project has a real “community” feel about it.
Enjoyable read knowing that it's been complied with much Whovian love.

The writing was functional, but overwhelming. The episodes were summarized well; however, the lack of any sort of transitions made it read like an encyclopedia page. There was no drama building as I read.

The fan art was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the art depicting Peter Capaldi episodes.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a massive Doctor Who fan and was thrilled when I received this for Christmas. The illustrations in this book are absolutely stunning and is definitely a book that I will go back time and time again.

The sole purpose of this book would appear to be for Puffin to use illustrations by fans of "Doctor Who" to make money. Some of the art is good, some bad, mostly mediocre. The text is minimal, and the whole project reeks of trying to separate completist collectors of their money. I got my copy on sale, and it's still not worth it.

A beautiful synopsis of the most pivoting moments in Doctor Who history accompanied by gorgeous and loving art made by the fans for the fans.
