Dicks has a good grasp on David Tennant's voice and mannerisms as Doctor. The story wasn't anything special but it was a decent coda to Army of Ghosts/Doomsday. ( ) 2,5 stars. The book was ok, but the lack of pages affected the story. It's a Quick Read, so the story is supposed to be short, but while this worked more or less well in the other Quick Reads, it didn't work that well in Made of Steel. If Martha and the Doctor had been together for the whole story, the detective work might have worked out better. However, the fact that they're not together for about half the story, the subplots that don't add much to the story and the long introduction (long compared to the rest of the book) didn't leave enough pages to develop the main plot. The positive point is that the Doctor seems to be in character if you've watched the show and can imagine his voice. This wasn't the case with Martha though. She is smarter in the show. She wouldn't have survived that year alone if she had behaved in the way that she does in this story. It's entertaining and ok for fans of the show and this companion, but if you just want to read a short Doctor Who book, I would recommend any of the other Quick Reads. Meh The adventure starts out ok, but I found it never really delivered. It was started and finished without really GOING anywhere. Martha seemed fairly flat and shallow (she never was the greatest of companions, but this made her seem worse) and while the Doctor was. . .well, mostly in character, he never really got a chance to shine either. All in all, the story seemed more like a short story one might find in a magazine, than a full blown novel.Not *bad*, but definitely not one of my favourites. This was a free book with a Doctor Who magazine. I've never read any Doctor Who books before, preferring to watch the show on television instead. I didn't really know what to expect, especially as I've heard mixed things about the books: some fans love them and see them as an addition to the programme while others don't rate them at all. I, however, had an open mind. I do think that this was possibly not the best book to start with. This is one of the 'Quick Read' series and true to its name it is a very quick read. I managed to complete it in less than an hour - it would have been less if I'd not been reading it while I was eating. It's not a very demanding book and neither is it a great read. There is really no surprise in who the baddies are in it, the title rather gives it away as does the picture of the Cyberman on the front cover! The plot is rather overdone - it could be because it features the Cybermen and they've been shown quite a bit in the series and there's not a great deal you can do with them that's different. It seems to be very clichéd on the whole so it's rather disappointing. So not a great read at all really. It seems to be very obviously aimed at children who will be happy to read anything that's got Doctor Who in which is a shame, because it doesn't have to be bad quality. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
