I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. When I saw this book, I figured I'd give it a try in between the longer horror books I'm reading as a nice palette cleanser. I was surprised at how much I liked it.

I've never watched an episode of the third doctor. Even without seeing his version of the Doctor or knowing who Jo was, the story was easy to understand for the most part. You could almost imagine any version of the Doctor in the story, which I really appreciated.

I also loved that the book started off from the dog's perspective. It was unique, and hooked me right away. The story kept me intrigued throughout. It was a short, fun book that I easily read in one sitting. Once they got in the caves/mine, I was a little confused on what happened which slightly took me out of the story. However, within a few minutes I got the gist of what was going on, and still enjoyed the story. I'm glad I decided to pick this one up.

3.5 stars.
