Good Idea, but not done right,
By
This review is from: "Doctor Who": Eye of Heaven (Paperback)
A very good idea, which had the potential to be one of the better Doctor who novels. However, the way that this story has been written is terrible. The whole thing is based on various diary entries from various characters, this means that you have no idea which character is talking until the end of their diary entry. A dissapointing read.

Fantastic and Atmospheric,
By
This review is from: "Doctor Who": Eye of Heaven (Paperback)
This is, to my mind, the very best of the Past Doctor series. The non-linear and first person narratives work brilliantly in what is, essentially, a multi-layered gothic novel. The characterisation of the Fourth Doctor is excellent, and the Leela is also well realised. The supporting cast seem to jump off the page, and there is a neat, meaningful resolution at the end. Buy it now!!!

Badly Written and Inconsistent,
By A Customer
This review is from: "Doctor Who": Eye of Heaven (Paperback)
The only thing going for this book is that it is better than Jim Mortimore's previous efforts. After a promising start the book leaps all over the place and ends up going nowhere. The abrupt and puerile ending is unsatisfying. As to characterisation I think Mortimore needs a few lessons. For a start, Leela seems to know a lot of nautical terms and many other things besides yet we are led to believe that these are all new experiences. Worst of all, when we first meet Leela in the book she ponders over the fact that no-one in her tribe was over thirty. I seem to recall a few elderly people in her tribe in the TV series. The book has its moments, eg the prologue and the occassional sentence. Buy something else, preferably by a writer.
