This book is designed for avid Whovians. If you are not or have seen only a few episodes (mainly since the reboot) then a lot of the references will be lost on you. If something is mentioned, even once, it gets a notation in this encyclopedia. This makes for great fun for Whovians, not so much for people unfamiliar with the Doctor Who Universe. I love all the pictures throughout the book but wish that the author/editor could have bothered to put some sort of caption or reference to encyclopedia entry connecting the picture to the appropriate entry on the page. Most of them I could figure out but a few of them-mostly from the shorts and animated entries that I have not seen - I had no idea what the picture represented. That's my only critique of the book. I'm a huge Whovian so I am obviously part of the target audience and unlikely to be disappointed.

Because I only had it from the library for a limited time, I read this book less like an Encyclopedia where you look things up when you're curious about them, and more like a real book. I read it all the way through, entry by entry, and it was really fun to do.
1- Gary Russel clearly ships Rose/Ten
2- The pictures were GORGEOUS
3- It actually explained some stuff I hadn't quite understood from series 5-6.

My only complaint with this book was that there wasn't as much Rose stuff in there as there was the other companions. Shame... Otherwise, a nice, carefree read about one of my favorite shows
