5.0 out of 5 stars Complex, but satisfying, 21 Dec 2001
By A Customer
I haven't read many of the Eigth Doctor novels as I came to the series late and want to read them from the beginning - of course many of the early titles are now difficult to get hold of, so i was particularly pleased to get a copy of Genocide - even more pleased as I found it impossible to put down - I'd had, what I consider, an unpleasant experience with The Taking of Planet 5 (who?what?where?when? - Whatever!!!) and having read a synopsis of Genocide was concerned that I might be in for more of the same - I needn't have worried. The characterisations were all crystal clear (I knew who everybody was all the way through the novel) - the plot, at first, seemed a little complex, but was, actually, incredibly well explained - and the descriptive narrative actually transported me to the african plains millions of years ago - great to see Jo Grant back and, at long last, as a grown up!

3.0 out of 5 stars great story poor characterizations, 24 Dec 2001
By A Customer
The story of the alternative universe with a Tractite utopia is really well crafted and challenging. However, a bit of truth to character is, in my opinion, lacking. The climax depends on Jo Grant doing something that is wholly uncharacteristic in light of her development throughout the series, and it doesn't even seem necessary in light of the other story developments. Furthermore, it seemed rather odd that after the reunion of Jo and the Dr. there wouldn't even be a parting scene. These things ruined the book for me.
