review 1: One of the best Doctor Who anthologies I've ever read and it has a rang of different authors writing diverse stories in this, I can't really pick which ones were my favorite, because they were all well written and fun to read. However, I did kind of got stuck on one of the stories and I did a thing where I read the book backwards(I got stuck on the 3rd Doctor story and decided to read the 11th Doctor story and when I finished it, I went to the 10th Doctor story and so on)but when I caught up with everything, I ended up enjoying the book as a whole. If you're confused about which Doctor Who books to read, this is an excellent introduction, but you have to have a bit of knowledge about The Doctors in order to appreciate it a bit more.
review 2: This book is a co... morellection of short stories each focusing on one of the Doctor's incarnations. Sometimes thought-provoking and serious, sometimes silly and laugh-out-loud humorous, all of these stories have the one thing that really sets the standard for Doctor Who fiction; heart. :) Any Whovian would enjoy this collection, in my opinion.*A Big Hand for the Doctor (1st Doctor): I liked this story a lot, it was set up with the Doctor's only companion being his granddaughter, Susan, so it was interesting to see a story take place before the actual television series started. I liked the story itself and how it came full circle in the end.*The Nameless City (2nd Doctor): The best part of this story was the fact that Jamie was the Doctor's sole companion in it. Usually the 2nd Doctor was traveling with Jamie and Victoria or Jamie and Zoe, so it was fun to see the two men share an adventure together! The story itself started out pretty good, but sort of rushed the ending a bit in my opinion.* The Spear of Destiny (3rd Doctor): I may be a bit biased when it comes to this story, because the 3rd Doctor is one of my favorite incarnations and I am apt to enjoy anything that features him! :P But to be honest, the story was fantastic. Really set up and executed well, and I thought his was portrayed perfectly.*The Roots of Evil (4th Doctor): This story was awesome! I am not the hugest fan of the 4th Doctor, but the originality and creativity of this story helped to carry me past that! I loved it!*Tip of the Tongue (5th Doctor): This was, unfortunately, my least favorite story out of the book. While I enjoyed seeing the Doctor traveling alone with Nyssa (Tegan and Adric literally drive me batshit crazy with annoyance) the story itself was strange and hard to follow, in my opinion. Plus it really didn't seem as if he did anything throughout the story except show up in the very end.*Something Borrowed (6th Doctor): This. Was. Bloody. Brilliant! I loved this story, definitely my second favorite of the book. The 6th Doctor's somewhat cantankerous and arrogant personality were captured perfectly as was his delightfully spirited companion, Peri.*The Ripple Effect (7th Doctor): This was a great story featuring the 7th Doctor and Ace! The story was absolutely so profound and thought provoking and it was one I would definitely like to see featured in an episode someday!*Spore (8th Doctor): Loved this one too! Very intense, very creepy, and I love the portrayal of the 8th Doctor. Only wish he could have had a companion with him. Charley Pollard, anyone? :(*The Beast of Babylon (9th Doctor): A rip-roaring adventure featuring the 9th Doctor! What I loved about this was that it was an adventure that took place literally minutes before he asked Rose to come travel with him! It was fantastic! ;)*The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage (10th Doctor): By far, the ABSOLUTE BEST story in the whole book.*Nothing O'clock (11th Doctor): Whew! This one was absolutely terrifying and completely engaging! Loved it! less
