Doctor Who:
Heroes and Monsters Collection
by Various
***Some Reviews may Contain Spoilers***
BBC Books September 2015
ISBN: 9781405922685
This book is a collection of short stories that were originally printed in such venues as the "Doctor Who Magazine" over the past ten years. It features all of the doctors, except the 9th, from the past 10 years of the series. It also features the companions and villains as well. Each story is a very short read and the entire book, despite seemingly being over 300 pages, can be read very quickly as a result. Many of the stories are really very good, and focus in on some quick adventure that a doctor, a companion and the occasional monster might have in the Doctor Who universe. The stories themselves do not contain much character development, nor do they contain any sort of earth shattering reveal of any character, which is to be expected in this format. They are all very well written and it is easy to enjoy them as despite their short length and quick plot, they are easy to get into. A book that can be reread easily for sure.
A definite read for the Doctor Who fan, casual sci fi fan or short story fan.
4 out of 5 stars.
