I managed to never get into Torchwood when it was on the air. I was familiar with the characters and concepts due to catching bits and pieces of the show or hearing friends discuss some point or other. I'm more of a reader than TV watcher, so I started reading this series as I was interested enough to see what it was all about. At first, I had assumed the novels would just retell the events from the TV show, but these are totally different stories. The books do occasionally touch on stuff that happened in the show as the events they portray sort of happen between episodes. After reading the first 12 novels in this series, I actually went back and watched the whole show, too, since I liked the characters so much. ( ) I thoroughly enjoyed most of this book. There were parts where I was very scared for the main characters, and other parts where I was scared for the other characters. One couple in particular met an extremely tragic and unfortunate end. But it was lovely watching them all flail about, having no idea what was going on for a good long while. And then, when they sort of figured it out, I got to see Ianto singing. I certainly would have loved to have heard that on the show! And the fact that they didn't figure it all out until the very last second when it was almost too late had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Mediocre novel with a crap ending. The characterizations were somewhat true to Jack, Gwen, and Ianto (until the last bit), though not exceptional. The plot was just ok. But what really did it in for the book was the final chapter. I had sort of seen it coming from early on, but I was hoping against hope that the author would take the story in a different direction. Alas, she did not. I adore Torchwood, and I refuse to believe that the Jack from the show would've made the same decisions, nor would Gwen and Ianto have just blindly gone along with those decisions. My opinion? Skip this one. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1915887.html In general I have very much enjoyed the Torchwood novels, and I would have enjoyed this one as well, if the ending had not turned on the convenient disposal of an autistic child's life. That just makes me sick. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The body in the church hall is very definitely dead. It has been sliced open with surgical precision, its organs exposed, and its vocal cords are gone. It is as if they were never there or they've been dissolved... With the Welsh Amateur Operatic Contest getting under way, music is filling the churches and concert halls of Cardiff. The competition has attracted the finest Welsh talent to the city, but it has also drawn something else - there are stories of a metallic creature hiding in the shadows. Torchwood are on its tail, but it's moving too fast for them to track it down. This new threat requires a new tactic - so Ianto Jones is joining a male voice choir... Featuring Captain Jack Harkness as played by John Barrowman, with Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones as played by Eve Myles and Gareth David-Lloyd, in the hit sci-fi series created by Russell T Davies for BBC Television.
