Doctor Who: Plague City by Jonathan MorrisMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was an interesting story which was similar to an earlier TV episode and the book even referenced it towards the end. Some of the treatment towards Bill did make her appear a bit simple at times, though at others it does heighten her sense of street smarts. At times you can almost predict what the characters say and do. I did find some of the local Scottish dialect difficult to follow but the author has a sense of humour and even makes references to it in his acknowledgements. If you’ve been to Edinburgh then the book does allow you to picture the situation quite vividly. What the book doesn’t do is reveal the past of The Doctor, bit instead focuses once again on his God complex. I did enjoy the doctor’s choice of music and even found myself looking up the songs on YouTube. It’s also a great explanation as to what happens in Edinburgh in the summer.
