Product Description

Product Description

Equipped with space suits, golf clubs and a flag, the Doctor and Rose are planning to live it up, Apollo mission-style, on the Moon. But the TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south coast of England; a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much happens. Until now...An archaeological dig has turned up a Roman mosaic, circa AD 70, depicting mythical scenes, grapes and a Dalek. A few days later a young woman, rushing for work, is knocked over and killed by a bus, then comes back to life. It's not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy and a not-quite-alien accomplice who are intent on destroying humanity. Featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for little kids, 4 Dec 2006
By Don (england) - See all my reviews
My 4 year old daughter loves Doctor Who, unfortunately most of the books out there are just a bit too old for her yet and too long. This was perfect, we managed to read a chapter a night before bed and it didn't take too long to get through it. This is her first book with chapters in and she thought it was fantastic. I just wish there were more like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short...but sweet., 2 Sep 2006
By dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Older or more competent readers may initially be put off of the idea of what is essentially a book written for people who don't like reading (100 pages of very large type in the `Quick Reads' series) but `I Am A Dalek' is actually far more enjoyable than many of the longer young-audience hardback's published in the wake of the new Doctor Who series. The book reads very much in the style of the new television series one-episode stories: very fast moving and completely shorn of fat. The story is something of a variation from that of the TV story `Dalek': in that story Rose was responsible for transferring some of the `human factor' into a Dalek, here we have a human who is taken over by the Dalek factor. There's also plenty of genuine Dalek action, including the bizarre concept of a gunless Dalek causing mayhem only with it's `sink plunger' arm, and some nice humorous moments. The only slight problem I had with the book is the rather unnecessary coda, which is a bit of a cheat and undoes a previously powerful moment earlier in the book. Still, this is good fun, and if you like the fast and breezy nature of the new television series you'll find this a perfect read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dalek-tastic, 20 Jul 2006
By Mr. Robert W. Perkins "bluberfish" (Sheffield) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is so greatly written. A similar-ish premise to the new series episode "Dalek", with just the one Dalek on the loose but still it's fantastic. You really feel this could be turned into a real TV episode.

In fact, it really should be turned into a TV episode. Though now we've lost Rose, I guess there's no hope of that. It's not the longest book, took me about half an hour to read it but still enjoyed it muchly! My favourite than the other Who novels as it just felt simple but excellent.

Not sure how it fits into series continuity though, as such a big event as a Dalek showing up would have most likely been mentioned on the TV... Oh well. Loved it still!
