A review by nwhyte
Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen, by Terrance Dicks

http://nhw.livejournal.com/1028958.html?#cutid3[return][return]This was the very first Second Doctor book, followed over the next few years by Doctor Who and the Cybermen, then Doctor Who and the Ice Warriors, Doctor Who and the Web of Fear and Doctor Who and the Tomb of the Cybermen. Dicks was still taking it seriously at this stage, and nicely fills out the four-part story into a good read. The interplay of motivations among the monks is very good, and Dicks was still in the habit of writing in tight third rather than TV viewer perspective. Victoria, alas, is very wet indeed, but there are a couple of amusing double entendres, eg "Thonmi woke up with a jerk" - hmm, yes....
