Dr Who, Schmoo

This is a downright clever book. To appreciate it more, if you aren't familiar with the term "Mary-Sue," search the Internet for "Mary-Sue Litmus Test." Then consider the nameless first-person narrator. Writer-to-writer meta-humor aside, if you enjoyed The Hitchhiker's Guide... or Bill, the Galactic Hero, you'll enjoy this book too. And, no, it may be a "New Adventures" book, but it's pretty much Dr. Who free, which is fine by me. :)

TEN out of TEN! A FANTASTIC ESCAPADE FROM DAVE STONE

First off, the book is by Dave Stone. If you're really curious to know, Kate Orman came up with the title. And the cover shown here is not the cover that made it onto the book. Besides not having Kate's name on it. Anyway the book is a *joy* after some pretty turgid recent entries in the New Adventure series. Stone's at his most insane, while managing to keep a tentacle or two on solid ground: basically throwing in all the nuttiness and irrelevance we've come to expect, but giving us a straightforward adventure yarn which twists one's brain in directions previously unexplored. Pure brain candy! Magical! Tons o' fun! But Wolesey fans remember, Dave Stone hates cats!
