Dalek I Loved You by Nick Griffiths
4.0
I liked this book, I liked it a lot. But...
My main problem with it is the way how the author, Nick, seems to want to disassociate himself from his love of "Doctor Who" - note the title is "Dalek I Loved You" (past tense) and not "love you". When the book starts he is at pains to state he isn't an uber-nerd fan, rating himself low on a scale of 1 to 10 (and then as if to prove he isn't a complete uber-fan he says he has to look up the details about one story he is mentioning)...and yet we then find out that in his adult life he has spent a lot of money on Doctor Who related items (including props from the TV show itself).
Come on Nick, less of the past-tense - let yourself be free, give in to the inner nerd!
