Book Reviews of Doctor Who: The Many Hands (Doctor Who (BBC Hardcover))
Book Review: 1759 Edinburgh, Walking Corpses, the Doctor and Martha = Fast Read
Summary: 4 Stars
The Doctor and Martha arrive in 18th century Edinburgh, and of course they can't just stroll along the Royal Mile and enjoy some tea and shortbread. Within minutes of arriving, the two of them are trying to stop a runaway carriage carrying a famous American. After stopping the carriage and saving countless lives in the process, they are arrested by the castle guards for disrupting the peace and because Martha is wearing pantaloons (it is 1759 after all). Of course, the Doctor and Martha escape and get separated in the process. Martha ends up with two 18th century anatomists who have a big secret, and the Doctor ends up in a church across the loch surrounded by soldiers and the walking dead.
Of course the Doctor saves the day, and Edinburgh. The action is fast and furious, and the book is quite a page-turner. The author did a nice job writing the characters of Martha and the Doctor, I could hear Freema Agyeman and David Tennant saying the lines in my head as I was reading.
It was an interesting story that adds to the Whoniverse, and gives the Martha Jones character some interesting things to do besides mooning over the Doctor. If you are a fan of the show, and want a fun and quick read I recommend this book. However, if you are not familiar with the Doctor Who series I recommend that you give this story a pass.
