"Festival of Death" could have been one of the best Doctor Who novels. However, Morris trips himself up by introducing some unnecessary components that are obviously unnecessary. First, the good. This is another "time turning round itself" story from the author of the CD audio drama "Flip Flop," which is equally convoluted in regard to characters running past each other at different points in their personal histories but at the same point in general history. For the first half of the book, theExcellent well written and thought out adventure as Baker's doctor jumps off the page and into the mind.A page turner
Absolutely great! WHO The Doctor: The Fourth DoctorCompanions: Romana II & K-9 WHERE & WHEN "The Beautiful Death" theme park, outer space, year: 3012 WHAT The Doctor and companions arrived to a strange theme park made by several space ships stuck in a kinda of "traffic jam" in the middle of hyperspace. The theme park's main attraction is called "The Beautiful Death" where it's offered to "feel" how is like to die. MY FIRST DOCTOR WHO'S NOVEL I was eager to read Doctor Who novels
With the new series being instantly popular many shops wanted to cash in on the success, including The Works which had numerous Past Doctor Adventures at 3 for £5.I instantly grabbed as many as I could and these novels instantly rekindled my love of reading, I must revise these again at some point but have currently rated them to the best of my knowledge.
An excellent example of how a time travel story SHOULD be! Great story, Mr. Morris!
Started off great but after 50 pages or so I just lost interest. There was too much going on, but not enough to hold my attention. Ended up skipping to the end and I still didn't feel I had missed much.
Why do I always give Doctor Who books such high ratings? I promise I am not biased. This was genuinely a really good story. As the author states in his introduction, this Doctor Who tie-in has enough ideas for two books. He's wrong. This book has enough original ideas and such an interesting story to warrant an independent series. Yeah it was that good.
