Patchy
Some stories better than others, some narrators better than others. Scottish accents used by some are woeful, in general worth a listen.

Reasonable, but nothing to set the time vortex alight
A range of narrators means you're going to like some more than others. I found a few irritating in so much as the volume of their voice varied considerably. I'd probably blame the sound mixer, but either way it meant constantly wanting to play with the volume.
The stories are quite nice, with a few really fairly good ones. But I can't say I really remember many beyond the one I've just finished. I'll probably listen to it again next Christmas.
Not worth the full price IMHO.

Some good stories
This is a weird one as a lot of the individual doctor’s stories are enjoyable, however the woman doing the reading particularly the later Doctors, has obviously never seen or heard any of the Doctors which begs the question on why she attempted to do the voices instead of reading it straight.

interesting, but simplistic
Well told stories, but a little too childish in nature. A 5 year might feel a little insulted.

On the 12th day of Christmas
I for one thought it very easy going and enjoyed the readers telling the story.

Fun and festive
The Twelve Doctors of Christmas is a great, fun collection of seasonal stories about each of the Doctors (from Hartnell to Capaldi). Each chapter features a new story, and a new Doctor (whose number corresponds to the chapter). The stories themselves are a bit of a mixed bag, with some being better than others. Some identify the 'version' of the Doctor very particularly through mention of their attire or hairstyle, and others by recognisable companions, so there's always enough to call to mind each iteration of The Doctor as you listen. Some of the narrators are better at capturing the spirit of their doctor better than others, but Chris Addison did a particularly good job with this.
I really enjoyed listening to each individual story, and they reminded me of the televised 'specials' and mini-episodes around things like Red Nose Day or Children in Need. Definitely a book I can listen to again, and one that makes it simple to go straight for my favourite stories, or favourite Doctors!

Equal shares, perfect
I enjoyed this series of stories. One story for each doctor, fair shares and each had an authentic feel.

Familiar, not challenging
This collection of Christmas themed short stories is my chosen (guilty?) pleasure. I go elsewhere for high ideas, but this was pleasantly diverting
