Doctor Who: The Blood Cell (12th Doctor novel) | James Goss

pick

A soft Pick, because I did finish this book very quickly for an audiobook, and the story was fine. However, I'm more of a full-cast dramatization person these days, at least where Doctor Who is concerned, and there were some script-like scenes that would have benefitted from having multiple narrators.

I was listening to Disc 4 (of 5) this morning while audio puzzling and found the story had become extremely non-linear. « Ugh this is so weird, » I thought, « but OK, this is a choice. » I then realized I was playing that disc on shuffle ?

rabbitprincess @julesG @rockpools @TrishB @TheBookHippie It took me a lot longer than it might have to clue in, because numbering the chapters out of order does seem a very Doctor Who thing to do 🤣🤣 2y

AvidReader25 🤣 Such a Doctor Who thing to do. 2y

so-so

⭐⭐⭐
Eh, not my favorite but not terrible. It doesn't help that Clara is probably my least favorite companion, and this book does her no favors really. The story was imaginative enough. 11's personality was written well enough. But I didn't feel invested in the story at all.

RamsFan1963 I was never a big Clara fan. I didn't care for her with the 11th Doctor (but to be fair I was morning the loss of Amy & Rory) and I though she had no chemistry with the 12th. 3y

Twainy 👆🏼 I was so not a Clara fan! 😆 I would have hate read this LOL 3y

readordierachel Have to agree with all the other comments here. Clara just didn't work for me at all 3y

I think we may be living through wummer right now. 75° one day, snow the next. Yep, wummer sounds about right.

KathyWheeler I can accept wummer. It‘s 62° here right now; on Friday it‘s supposed to be in the 30s. 3y

I loved the idea of this story but found the writing only OK. Definitely a decent library borrow.

My hometown library switched from Overdrive to CloudLibrary for their ebooks. So far, kind of meh, but I did find a Doctor Who book I hadn‘t seen before, so I guess there‘s that.

candority I prefer CloudLibrary! It‘s compatible with my Kobo, unlike Overdrive. Did your library‘s collection decrease with the switch though? 5y

VioletBramble Did you see that Big Finish has a Captain Jack and River Song story coming out in March? I‘m so excited about this. 5y

rabbitprincess @candority It seems to have fewer of the books I had on my original "read later" list (which was toasted, so I had to rebuild from scratch). @VioletBramble That looks really awesome!! 5y
