Doctor Who: 12 Doctors 12 Stories - review
Doctor Who, the last of the Time Lords, must continue saving the world with his TARDIS and his companion.
From Alpha Centauri, Atraxi and Axons to Patchwork People, the Family of Blood and Reapers… what other aliens will the Doctor fight?
If you're a fan of the TV series, this will be a treat for you, and if you're not, it will be even better: read the book, then you'll probably want to watch the movie.
If you are like me, you will undoubtedly like all the Doctors, from the first old TARDIS-thief to the twelfth grey-haired cross-eyed Doctor.
The book includes 12 short stories (basically episodes) for each Doctor, each one of them written by a different author. Neil Gaiman (Coraline, The Graveyard Book), one of my favourite writers, is among the contributors, and so are authors like Philip Reeve (No Such Thing as Dragons) and Marcus Sedgwick (The Dark Horse).
I liked this book because of the dramatic and right-when-you-need-them entrances of the Doctor and because of all the surprises – right when someone (or something) is about to die, a good guy pops out from nowhere and saves the day.
