Finally done with Destiny of the Doctor. Nothing special but entertaining, really, expanded media is for hardcore fans and I am one of those suckers. One question with this one, though. Why have Jenna Coleman read the audio when Clara doesn't appear in the audio?

The Doctor rushes in to save the universe from an impossibly wrong time machine and the Creevix who aim to consume all of time. The Creevix felt a little generic in their description and other than being giant bug like creatures I didn't get a huge feel for them.
Jenna Coleman's reading was decent, and her characterization of Alice Watson was well done and I felt her voice really brought Alice to life. But I found her interpretation of Matt Smith a bit off (and actually it was more of an interesting combination of the tenth and eleventh Doctors than anything).
The pacing of the story felt a bit off, with the end rushing to a conclusion and attempting to wildly tie in everything from the previous stories. It worked in the end but felt like it could have used more of a detailed examination.

This is another Doctor Who audiobook that was only created for audiobook form.
It is narrated by Jenna Coleman, who plays Clara on the show. She has a great storytelling voice. It was funny to hear her do an impression of the Doctor, because it sounded so much like him but it was Clara’s voice.
The ending moved very quickly and it was hard to follow. It felt rushed because things were moving along at a good pace and suddenly it was finished. I would have liked it to be explained more because it was a little confusing.
I really enjoyed this story. I’m going to keep listening to the ones narrated by the actors because they do such a good job!

this was good enough,
I didn't really expect this to be the masterpiece that is doctor who the TV series and so I’m not disappointed or anything, I just though the story was ok, a little confusing at times, but I did like hearing Jenna Coleman telling the story, so overall it was ok.
