Reviews
On Mar 26 2008, DocHartmanReads said:
DOCTOR WHO AND THE ZARBI, based on the serial "The Web Planet" is perhaps the WORST novelization in the entire TARGET lineup. Bill Strutton has no idea who the characters are, what the motivation of the story should be, and I'm not even sure he has a complete mastery of the English Language. All right, that's a bit harsh... but if you were hired to write a book based on a show like Doctor Who, with a HUGE fan following, one would imagine that one would do a bit of research. As in, the title character is called "The Doctor", not "Doctor Who". That was very irritating on its own, and yet when compiled with calling "The TARDIS" simply Tardis (without the definate article) and shoddy spelling throughout, its nearly unbearable reading.
If you're collecting the set, pick it up cheap and throw it on the shelf as quick as possible. Don't bother to read it.
