The Gold Death This 5th in the BBC’s range of 10th Doctor novels does it’s best to justify its medium by offering even more alien mayhem than the current TV series could afford to show on screen, as the Doctor and Rose land in near-future Africa and find themselves caught in the middle of an alien war. The African setting makes a nice change, and the book is certainly busy enough to keep younger readers interested, but older readers might find this a rather too arch, as the novel turns into an over the top battle between the Doctor and some unfortunately phallic worms. At best `The Art of Destruction’ can be enjoyed as a tongue-in-cheek comedy romp, but it never quite gels together into anything more satisfying. A fun but very disposable read.
Another disappointment from Stephen Cole Why do people employ this man to write? Aside from ‘The Feast Of The Drowned’ I’ve not read or heard a single decent story by this man. The plot is a joke, the characters are paper thin, the excitement is nowhere and the thought of giant worms and gold golems fighting each other may sound fun but he manages to make even that feel lumpy and wooden. The running around by all the characters is always the sign of an author in desperate need of help but the chasing around that goes on here beggars belief. The sadness of watching Rose being turned into a golem, the savage and desperate hunt for a cure and the eventual success are all botched by the writing.Quite frankly you’d be better off reading a cereal box than giving this one a go.
I’ve read this book twice now and it’s a great read! Suitable for kids whilst still entertaining for adults, this book is an all rounder any day 🙂
