Doctor Who: The Last Dodo by Jacqueline Rayner
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
This ... is so bad. Just stunningly awful writing. Allow me to quote:
"A guard grabbed hold of Martha's arm, while another two pointed their space guns at her."
"Space guns." Really?
Also, what's up with all the pointless exposition making sure I know that Doctor Who is a time traveller and all the very basic bits of this universe. Do you really think that someone who isn't familiar with these sorts of things is going to be diving into book 14 of the New Series Adventures of Doctor Who?
DNF at page 50 so that my love of Doctor Who is not tarnished by this objectively terrible prose.
