Doctor Who The Star Beast

I enjoyed the TV specials for the 60th and I didn't realise they were novels too. It was a briliant novel and it was just like on the telly accept for a few more details. The story telling was really well done and the writing was briliant. Cant wait to read the next two novels.

Excellent audio book

Jacqueline King does a brilliant job of bringing this come to life - her impression of the Doctor is spot on and she has a great vocal range for the various characters - the evil Meep voice is fantastic. A lot of the story is told from Sylvia's point of view so choosing her as the narrator made perfect sense even though I wasn't aware of her vocal range until now. Excellent sound production as well.

The story rattles along but includes various additions and backstory to flesh out some of the characters - and even introduce a few new ones!

Well worth listening to even if you don't want to read the book or had reservations about the Specials, if only to admire a great vocal performer and high audio production values. 10/10
