A short read that was fun but nothing new. We already know all about the Kirllitanes and it was predictable to the point where I'd already guessed what Henry would do. Likeable characters and quite funny in stages but nothing amazing about it!

Quick read indeed
Another book-episode of Doctor Who down. This one, however, had a certain ineffable something that made it flow better and really captured the characters better somehow.
Great way to spend an hour with the Doctor.

BOOK 18 (OUT OF 21) OF MY HOLIDAY READS - AUGUST 2022
A nice little Quick Read - 3*
For what it's supposed to be, it did the job really well. I love the 10th Doctor and would honestly read him doing his shopping.

Dette var som å lese en Doctor Who episode. Boka var veldig kort, men absolutt kjempebra.

I've always been a fan of the Doctor Who books because I have always felt they added more to the series and that they were a good filler between series'. This was no different!
This book is a twist on the TV version of the Krillitanes, and there are only minor differences throughout - so if you have seen the TV show, the chances are you will already know what is going to happen. Despite how I found it excessively predictable, I did enjoy it and I found myself finishing it in about 30 minutes. That said, it is a really quick read - which is something that I appreciated. It was a nice break between 300 page+ novels, and it definitely sparked my interest enough and kept me interested.
I liked the Doctors "companion" in this novel, and I do like how the Doctor was written (Justin Richards has also written the Doctor Who 50th anniversary fact book) and felt he was written just how the writers of the show would have him talk/act.
I would generally recommend this book for a younger audience; perhaps to keep the kids quiet for a couple of hours!
I would also recommend this if you are just getting into the Doctor Who books and don't know where to start; this is a good starting place to warm you up to the general style of the Doctor Who novelists.
I rated this 3 stars purely because of the lack of length and the predictability. The things that caused it to hold those three stars in the first place were: the writing, the characters and the humor used throughout.
Definitely would recommend you check this out if you are looking for a fun and easy read to kill a bit of time!
