review 1: i'm not a huge fan of sappy romance style stories where all female characters are simpering foola who think there's nothing more to life than romance. so i found this book a bit difficult to read. personally i think she got the 6th doctor's character spot on but ruined it with making one of the main characters and a vital part of the story's progression a lovecrazed fool. this story is definitely designed for girls who like romance novels which is all well and good if you like that stuff.
review 2: A really well told story, with perfect characterisations of the Sixth Doctor and Peri, also their opponent (shh, spoilers...)The setting is a fascinating and engaging one, a world which has modeled itself upon present day Las Vegas. The plot is well paced and develo... moreped, the whole being very well written.It still suffers - as do the other books in this range - for being too short. The supporting cast are not fleshed out at all, there is little opportunity for introspection, and the whole thing, whilst undeniably enjoyable, seems ultimately a little empty. This is a great pity, as I can't help comparing these slight offerings to the early Who novels, with their challenging themes and convoluted plots. less
