An awful mess,
By A Customer
This review is from: Doctor Who: Mission Impractical (Paperback)
Far too much happens in this book, and very little of it is any good. Muddled characterisation, over-complex plotting, and general ineptness ruin a reasonably good idea. Only David McIntee could have Frobisher the shape-changing penguin return and immediately make him as boring as every other character in this soggy, silly mess.

Enjoyable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Doctor Who: Mission Impractical (Paperback)
Once again David McIntee delivers an enjoyable read. This would have made a good addition to the comic strip series in the Dr Who magazine (its great to have a book featuring the 6th Doctor's shape changing penguin companion - Frobisher). The addition of Glitz and Dibber make for a wonderful team. Its good fun, but some of the story threads remain as mere threads, begging to be woven into a fuller story. Other parts of the book hurry along, but overall this is a nice book to read and if this is McIntee at his worst I have no complaints.

Amusing Who,
By Michael Finn (Blackburn, Lancashire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Doctor Who: Mission Impractical (Paperback)
Glitz and Dibber swagger straight off the set of Mysterious Planet and onto the pages of Mr McIntee's tale of galactic double-dealings and dashing derring-do. Along for the ride is Doctor Who Magazine's shapeshifter Frobisher, a gang of retired thieves, the most dangerous bounty hunters in the cosmos and a troop of always-good-for-a-chortle Ogron pirates. Colourful, brash and effortlessly amusing.
