Benjamin Greaves’s Reviews > Doctor Who: The Dalek Generation > Status Update

Well, it’s slowing a little bit now… but I do appreciate reading the in-depth thought process of the Doctor as the story goes along. It allows for a much greater insight into the character and the opinions he holds towards others that the show usually doesn’t get to comment on.

This sounds fairly obvious for a novel, but it’s probably the most descriptive (in relation to the Doctor) these books have been.

I can instantly tell that this would’ve been a great televised story. Shame that it isn’t, but the wonderful descriptions and brisk pace of the story makes it a great read all the same.

Reading this alongside the audiobook, which aims to unsettle the listener, truly is a delight so far. I always love when the Daleks are treated as cold and creepy, especially since it happens so rarely, so I’m looking forward to where this story is going.

I’m mainly reading it for research (for a personal project) but it is proving to be a very entertaining read - so that’s a bonus!
