DW: The Clockwise Man

Hey Guys,
so here we go with the first adventures from the New Serie Adventures The Clockwise man. The ninth Doctor is visiting with Rose London in October 1924 to see the British Empire Exhibition. The Story takes place after the story The Unquiet Dead. Rose reverse alot to it in the Story.

Tick, Tock, goes the clock…

Tick, tock, this is also how the story goes it is stedy it have no ups and downs, it just goes tick, tock, … Also you may have sensed it, it goes about the clock-robots (what was their name?). We see them in episodes like ‘The Girl in the fireplace’ or ‘Deep Breath’ but they accured also in earlier stories like ‘The Mind Robber’. I never was a big fan of them but they work mostly in the stories very well.
They story has his turns but it turns so slow that you can see them coming in the long way. To be honest the ‘biggest’ twist i didn’t see but i wasn’t surprised because if you look clearly it was scream in your face. Most of the time you are just to focused on the kid.

The little Prince

The Story about the kid – Freddie – isn’t important at all. I love Freddie he is sweet and you can so feel with him. He is the best in this story and sometime i was very afraid that he will not survive. I most saw to my shame that i like Rose totally don’t make the circle but the haemophilia. This was really sloopy reading on me side. For Freddie it was worth reading the book.

So this book is some of the really weak books, but it has Freddie in it and he is a really good character.

DW: The Stealers of Dreams

Hi Guys,
for me is nearlly midnight. So not look to close. After the disappointing book, i startet to read the next book of ‘New Series Adventure‘ with mixed feelings. I didn’t want to have to high expectations, but lets talk about the important things.
This book is featuring the ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler and Captain Jack Harkness. To take the main opinion first, i liked it.

For the most time all three are on their own. Jack is totally like we know and love him. He don’t need the Doctor to get shit done. So doesn’t Rose. Of course at the end of the day the Doctor saves everyone. But i think the book shown really good the strength and weaks of the the characters. Also it is one of the few books with really good secondary characters. They are not all sympatic but interesting.

The Story is not the best, but it’s kinda interessting. What fiction can do to us? Or what the absend of fiction do to us? That are the questions that came up in the book. Dreams are such a big and interesting theme and i like what they do with it. What is realty and what is a dream? I like how they play with it.  The end is a little bit hasted and anti-climatic. But on the other hand i can’t really imagine an other good end.

So yeah definitly not the best book but totally not the worst. I think it is a nice entertaiment.

Good night.

DW: Only Human

Hi Guys ,

we have the middle of the week, yeah. Not long and it is weekend a long weekend in germany because it is Pfingsten.

But now the the next book of the ‘New Series Adventure‘ it featured the ninth Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack Harkness. I love Jack so i was really happy to see that he is part of the crew in this book – I am also a big fan of Torchwood. But he doesn’t have a real role in this book. They let Jack stay behind, have the adventure with out him and than take him back. Also the few scenes with him are not the Jack i love. He is too judgmental about looks. For me that is totally out of character.

So the Doctor and Rose are having their adventure. There is so much you could have done with this stuff. But it is just the ordnary story and i don’t like how modern the talking in 26185 BC. They are so much things in this story that good give a great story, but the take the must rediculess part of it and give it so much time.

What else can i say… i don’t like the book very much.

 

See ya

DW: Winner takes all

Hi Guys,

here cames again a book  of the ‘New Serie Adventure‘ i read a while ago. It featured the ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith.

I like Mickey so i have really happy to have a little action  with him in the book. The characters are well written. So the best about the book is the interaction of the ninth Doctor with the others.

The plot idea is not a new one and i have read a lot of books with this plot idea, some was of them were better and some worse x But I think the plot works well. Just a few things could have gone little bit deeper. The whole story is just scratching the surface of the potential of the story.

Just one think really annoys me. At some point in the story are parts written from the perspectiv of a young boy and he just let is imagination run wild and thinks of himself as the choosen one. I like the conflict they want to show with that but not the kind it is written…it just got on my nervs.

 

Have a nice Sunday 🙂
