Format:Audio CD
This audiobook version of an original Doctor Who novel is great for fans wanting to fill the void now that the second series has finished airing. It's helped a lot by having David Tennant narrating, even though his impression of Billie Piper leaves a little to be desired. The story is very good and has the kind of character development many people say is lacking from the new, 45-minute story structure of the TV series. The Doctor's dialogue is as snappy and well-written as a Russell T. Davies script, particularly in his confrontation with a monster called Kevin.

Format:Audio CD
My daughter loves Doctor Who and reading but unfortunately suffers from the dreaded car sickness which makes reading in the car a no-no. We decided to try to pass the long holiday journey with an audio book to stop the 'Are we there yet?'and 'I need the sick bucket'outcries. It worked. She has listened to the story on every car trip we have made and loves it and there have been no 'buckets' required. She was particularly enamoured by the fact that the Doctor told the story and that he was a fellow Scot. We will definately be buying more audio as well as conventional Doctor Who books.

Format:Hardcover
`The Resurrection Casket' is utterly silly nonsense, but it's also charming, amusing and fun. Blatantly lifting `Treasure Island' (and numerous other pirate clichés) into a science fiction setting this boasts plenty of fun with the Doctor and Rose up against a crew of murderous steam-powered robots and a very unconventional other-dimensional monster. The plot is based around issues of hidden identity (like so many of Richards tales) and most of the plot-twists can be spotted 100 pages away, but this is still enjoyabele. This third 10th Doctor novel is easily the best of the initial batch of three, and indeed the best of Justin Richards three new series novels to date.

I loved the characters in this story. The apologetic monster is brilliant and the villains are suitably villainous. Read more

The Resurrection Casket
I did think this book was one of the best. Good storyline and a good monster, Kevin, who apologises before ripping you apart. A good book, buy it!
