I always loved Human Nature/The Family of Blood, and the idea of Doctor, being a human, although I didn't like his human character, he was someone who Doctor wouldn't be proud of. But still I loved that story and the speeches they gave about how The Doctor is and all that the fury of the timelord thing and the way he defeated his enemies and hello...David Tennant! EPIC!
But this book is waaaay better. I mean, no surprise. Books are always better than the adaptation. Almost always.
I loved this version of John Smith and how he knew Doctor would be against war and killing people and how he came to this decision to let the Doctor back. I loved Tim's character arc and I loved Bennie. She was awesome. Alexander and Richard? LOVED THEM!
Also, can we talk about how cat friendly is TARDIS? More cats in TARDIS, please.
