[Emilija · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good A-Z, though this one felt much more brief than the others. I liked the pages dedicated to the making of the various creaturesz

[Rhys Causon · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable read for fans of Doctor Who as this is one of the books that take a look behind the scene for some of the creature designs and effects.

I loved this book as a teenager and I love it now.

[Kai Hunter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting, but too brief. I wanted more information!

[Charles Schoenherr · Rating 5 out of 5]

I must admit that I did not expect much from the book based on its length (96 pages). I was pleasantly surprised to find that it covered not only recent villains, but older ones from the series as well. The history of the creatures origins both fictional and creation process are covered in detail. Of particular interest, are early drafts and designs of the creatures. It is apparently one of a trilogy of guides to the series and I look forward to reading the other two.
