Doctor Who: The Romans by Donald Cotton
1.0
The worst Target novel I have read so far. Donald Cotton structures the entire story as an epistolary account of the original narrative, but ends up writing every single character’s account in the exact same overly-verbose and “oh I’m so witty” manner that it made me want to bash my skull in.
The epistolary angle is interesting in theory, but it robs the story of any real meat or drive. It just sucks. All of the TARDIS team are written terribly, with Ian especially coming across as a real pompous asshole. Bad. Terrible. Awful.
