A Big Hand for the Doctor by Eoin Colfer
4.0
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! - 4*
It has been nearly two years since the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who and these eleven short stories were released to celebrate this momentous event. I personally had my eye on these ever since they were released but was unable to buy them in their original format. I downloaded them on my Kindle not long after the Christmas of 2013 but I forgot about them. No, I didn't forget about them because they weren't interesting and an exciting series but a number of exams had caused me to "forget" about them and not read them.
Yet, today. I was looking for something to read. Something short and something reliable where I know the plot, the characters and the setting will be strong. I knew these would be ideal.
The first doctor is captured beautifully in this e-short (is that what we're calling it?). His love for his granddaughter, his hope, love and optimism for Gallifrey and his critical, analytical and cynical mind is portrayed perfectly through this e-short. The plot is strong, there is not much character development but it's less than thirty three pages and the characters are already strong in my mind from the TV series.
The epilogue is fantastic. Colfer, I may have never read your books but the ending was beautiful.
Fantastic read!
