4.0 out of 5 stars Well priced monster compendium 5 Nov 2011
Format:Hardcover
This heavy hardback book is closer to A5 than A4 size, and unlike some hardbacks it feels thick. Each monster, or in some cases villain, has a two full-colour page pictoral and written summary. In each case there is a primary and one or two secondary paragraphs of concise text taking up the equivalent total of 30% of one page. There is usually a main backdrop picture and between 1 and 3 further ones inset.

The author has chosen, in no particular order, 100 monsters, of which about a quarter have not appeared in the new series, and a much smaller proportion which have so far only appeared in both. The emphasis, then, is very much new series, and a monster who has only appeared in one story gets the same level of summary as say the Daleks.

Each monster has a section containing three brief summaries Origin, Doctors Encountered and Description. Sadly, the middle section will cause this book to increasingly be out of date, as already the Cybermat section does not include information from the penultimate episode of series 6 (Closing Time). Also there is a subjective Fear Factor scale. Next to a normal font sized mark out of ten is a large colourful meter-like scale which perhaps goes some way to suggesting the reading age. In fairness, in the programme there is often little information about a monster, just some brief points summarised by the Doctor, about the monsters origins. Monsters are very much a visual experience so perhaps this book has the right balance of picture to text.

Overall this is a coffee-table book suitable for any fan, but probably aimed at the age group that play Top-Trumps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Choice for Any Dr. Who Fan 27 Dec 2011
By fromjc
Format:Hardcover
I purchased this book for my 10 year old grandson who loves the Dr. Who series. I was pleased to discover that the quality is excellent with top quality binding and nice shiny pics of all the monsters that he loves so much. He loves that there is just enough information given on each page to remind him of the episode but plenty of room for a nice, big picture of the ugly guy. I recommend this choice for any Dr. Who lover.

Call me sentimental.

I'll wait until you do so.

Done?

Thanks, and I don't mind that label as I regard the past as a more comfortable place to be cosseted by than the present/future. The past is safe but the future is uncertain; you can relax into it, as you know it, lived through it and can learn from it.

So, in randomly scanning through BBC BOOKS (from Penguin Books) release, DOCTOR WHO - 100 SCARIEST MONSTERS I was relieved that a phalanx of CLASSIC SERIES aliens & assorted perennial troublemakers are analysed shoulder-to-shoulder with the more recent creations that have attempted to undermine our beloved last of the Time Lords.

From Sea Devils to Scarecrows, from Mr Sin to (NEW SERIES) Macra, from Carrionites to Caan, from Kraals to Krillitanes, and from Time Beetle to Terileptils.

Across 210-pages, printed & `bound' to the highest of quality (question: why cannot British industry compete with the Chinese printing industry to produce such publications?), unfortunately SCARIEST MONSTERS echoes the previously released MONSTER MISCELLANY publication (see review) in content and, therefore, fans may feel cheated by such duplication and duplicity on behalf of BBC BOOKS in an blatant act of `wallet-dipping'. In fact, each publication is written by Justin Richards.

However, and I am pleased that there is a `however', not only is this latest offering increased value for money in comparison (£9.99 for an extra 24% page count with a larger page size format) but its content is all-new, intelligently written, complimented with a cascade of never-before-seen photographs and a creative layout design. It's a revelation and far superior than the MONSTER MISCELLANY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my son 3 Jan 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Even though any fan realizes quickly that not all the beings in the book are monsters, or even mean to be scary, my son thoroughly enjoys having this book to flip through and revisit his favorite scary moments. He loves classifying things and loves having all the villains or supposed villains laid out for him. It's a fairly superficial guide but it was exactly what I was looking for because I knew my son would like it.
