I really, really liked this. The story is told by the Doctor himself, so it makes perfect sense to listen to the audiobook read by Tom Baker. It's an outstanding performance as you can imagine. He has a voice that makes the crowds listen (but wait). Who doesn't get goosebumps in "Day oft the Doctor", when one can hear his "Well, I think you might"?! The story is a good solid Doctor Who adventure and the good thing is: It really feels like a TV story. You can't say that for every book. First I was a little unsure because it is written from the Doctors perspective but to my relief he didn't give his secrets and dark sides away although they are part of the tale. He felt excatly like the Doctor - the 4th Doctor in particular - very self-centred but with a wink. I enjoyed the small little references and cameos more than the story itself. But these put together leads to a very enjoyable book. Tom Bakers or Ian Marters or James Goss' - who knows.
