Funny read

I got this while traveling in europe and it is a funny take on Dr. Who and what he would do in this book. Dr. Whom is a Time Gentleman from the planet Garlic Free. He travels around in his Tardy with two companions, Prose Tailor, and Linnaeus Trout correcting grammatical errors in the universe and stopping bad guys like the Cydermen, Stavros and his Garleks, and his arch enemy The Master Debater. This story is narrated by Prose Tailor and the chapters are out of order but the reason for that will be at the end of the story. This is a good recommendation for any Dr. Who fan or anybody who likes silly reading. (My book cover is a bit different though. The Garlek is shaped like a little trash can and there is a Cyderman on the back cover. Very cute)
