One of the better ones!! - By: Karina Everett, 05 May 2008 
I've read a few doctor who books now & have tended to be dissapointed with the ending or the 'monster', however, this one is fabulous. it keeps you gripped throughout the whole book. you also have two stories running along side each other as the doctor & martha are seperated & martha gets into serious trouble & you actually feel relief when the doctor inadvertanly finds her & their two stories join.
the descriptions are so good & the 'hands' are very creepy, especially as it describes marthas thoughts as shes trappedin pitch black knowing they are somewherein the room.
allin all a much better one than some of the others, & the doctor & marthas characters are very well written from the actorsin series 3,in the way they speak & their relationship - even making reference to Rose at one point when the doctor makes a life altering decision!!
fast paced & keeps you glued!! ****
The Many Hands - By: Michelle Moore, 29 Apr 2008 Despite being a big fan of the TV series, this was the first Doctor Who book that I had tried. The format is a little smaller than most books, which made it really nice to hold & read.. especiallyin the bath! It also allows for the story to be fast paced, so that it feels like a TV episode.
This one was based on the 10th Doctor & Martha - The Doctor's character is well written, which makes it very easy to picture him whilst reading (always a pleasure!), but I did feel that Martha wasn't captured quite as well.
The actual storyline was actually like many of the TV episodes.. it could have been quite silly, & yet somehow, it works. I don't know which age groups this book is aimed at, but younger readers may find this one a little frightening.
Allin all, if this one is anything to go by, these books are great for fans, offering yet more time with The Doctor. I've already spotted some more I'd like to pick up!
Great Book - By: S. J. Smith, 29 Apr 2008 
This book is great if you have brought & not read it then do so now. The setting is great if you like Edinburgh you must read it even if you are not a Dr Who fan.
You need hands - By: Paul Tapner, 21 Apr 2008 NB; THIS IS AN ACTUAL REVIEW OF THIS BOOK AND NOT A RELATED PRODUCT
Another novel adventure for the tenth doctor who & his companion martha. as usual with this range it runs for 244 pages of quite large print & is suitable for all ages to read. & the main characters are spot onin their characterisation.
Does anything make this one stand out?
yes.
A very well realised setting, edinburgh of the 18th century, that will teach you an awful lot of history about the place.
Some good supporting characters who are very believable.
Interesting monsters who could be absurd but are actually quite a clever idea.
And some excellent & exciting set pieces. Although a few chases mean it takes about sixty pages to really get going.
A throughly enjoyable read & an above average entryin the range
