5.0 out of 5 stars Rather Odd, but Good, 14 Jun 2007
By DB Dom (London, UK) - See all my reviews
The Sensorites has a firm solid story at it's backbone, while being absurd it's definitely believable! The Doctor, Ian, Barbara & Susan land on a space ship, they find two crew members dead. Shortly after arriving the TARDIS lock is removed, leaving the Doctor with no way into the TARDIS and the two dead crewmen are resurrected into life...

This book shows most of all, an alien culture, unaffected by humans, dubious of any outsiders but unable to doubt each other, trusting all their fellow Sensorites. The Sensorites cannot afford to risk anyone taking their secret to the rest of the galaxy. They hold the TARDIS crew and their new found comrades trapped, allowed to roam free through the ship and the Sensorites home, yet unable to truly gain the liberty that they so dearly desire! The whole foundation of this book is trust, the Sensorites trust themselves, but not so easily the TARDIS crew & their friends. The irony of this, is among the Sensorites there is good at work and that the Doctor & Co. in fact help the Sensorite nations in a big way.

2.0 out of 5 stars Plonking, 17 Jan 2009
By Nicholas Whyte (Oud Heverlee, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was deeply underwhelmed by the TV version of this story, which fights off strong competition from The Web Planet to be probably the worst Hartnell adventure. Curiously, Nigel Robinson actually manages to smooth over the most awful bits of the narrative - the poor acting of the human characters, the poor characterisation of the non-humans - to the point where one feels that there is actually a decent sf tale in there somewhere, trying desperately to get out. Unfortunately the attempt is doomed to failure because of Robinson's plonkingly awful prose style. Some day some keen fan will do a version of this - the Sensorites as they should have been written. Meantime this book is only for completists.
