3rd Brock From The Sun - By: Mr. S. Berry, 08 Oct 2008 
This is my first Dr Who book (I always wait until they're twenty or more into a series run before hopping aboard), & a very enjoyable lark it is, too. As noted, Simon Guerrier has the characterisation of both the Doctor & his companion down pat from the off (the Martha's-eye view of the adventure itself lends the story very much to reading aloud - perhaps to a youngster). Plus, who can resist a tale of spaceships & buccaneering badgers? Not me. The somewhat Douglas Adams-ish plot is often, but not always, one step ahead of the reader (well, I didn't see the resolution coming, anyway) & the telling is,in turns, pacy, exciting, thoughtful & helpfully explanatory. I particularly liked the author's drawing of Martha's growing self-awareness. Very recommended.
a childrens book - By: A. D. Taylor, 18 Jul 2008 
wasnt too impressed, mainly read it as i wanted more Dr Who action after the end of the most excellent last series.
Parts of the book will date very quickly, the story seems to plod along for the first halp & get slighley more interesting, i was hoping this would have the same appeal as the series asin anyone can watch Dr Who from 8-80 but this book is firmlyin the young reader/teenage section, not overly entertaining or gritty
bryn's mum - By: P. A. Morgan, 11 Mar 2008 Rollicking good fun. The Doctor's abstracted, twinkly personality is particularly nicely drawn. I couldn't help thinking Harry Hill would turn up as the badger pirate-in-chief, & we all know a Mrs Wingsworth. Messing around with time can be tiresome, but the narrative keeps you guessing. Vivid descriptions & suitably barmy humour reflecting a quirkily individual mind-set.
Intergalactic Jolly Rogering! - By: R. A. Stradling, 02 Mar 2008 
A straightforward comic space opera for young & old. Kids will love the humour & easily identifiable characters; adults will appreciate the joie-de-vivre of it all. Guerrier tells his audience a simple parable of emancipation & redemption, while mucking around with pink ray-guns, space badgers, & quantum scrambled egg - & for the "Doctor Who" fans, he gets the regular characters spot-on, particularly the it's-cool-to-be-clever Martha Jones. Enjoy!
the pirate loop - By: S. smith, 27 Jan 2008 This is probably the funniest Doctor Who that I have read to date (and I have read most of them). Admittedly it is cheesy & cornyin places but it all tiesin with the humor which is rhythmic thoughout.
