4 stars. This was so much fun. My introduction to Doctor Who was through Christopher Eccleston’s season and I fell in love. I think he and the 9th Doctor are disgustingly underrated. Anyway, before I go on a rant, let me just say this book was wonderful. The characters felt true to form which is to be expected because this was written by Russell T. Davies. The ending made me smile and I can never get enough Rose/9th Doctor stories because their season was so incredibly short. Also, Rose is my favorite companion so of course I had to read this. I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for a fun, quick read.

i love that this being published in 2018 gave a bit of room for easter eggs for future doctors/eras! loved the early bad wolf reference & how we saw a little backstory for mickey :-) there were some pov added which was fun but also slowed the book a bit. overall an amazing read, just as the ep was a lovely watch.

O, I so hope this is the first of a Target Collection of all New Doctor Who. It's a fantastic novelisation that fleshes out characters and plot elements from the original episode. I'm going to keep this short because it is late and I'm tired but I'd love this book for Chapter 6 - Life at No. 90 on its own. Great work RTD. And hopefully, more to come.
