Doctor Who: The Whoniverse by Justin RichardsMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is a beautiful book to hold. Its artwork looks like it comes from the storyboards of the series itself. It also draws upon races and encounters that appeared earlier in the series but have yet to make an appearance in the 21st century revival. However, there are great big gaps in the storyline. Rather than being an encyclopaedic guide to everything Doctor, much of the defeats of the Doctor’s antagonists are simply described as a mystery rather than any relation to the Doctor’s activities, and some encounters are omitted altogether. There’s also little mention of facts and figures and a big lack of companion activity. It’s hard to keep up with who went back in time to change what, and some of the illustrations are too repetitive. It’s as if you’re flicking through just to look at the pictures. One thing’s for sure though, there’s no spoilers of things to come in here.
