"I love all things Doctor Who, but especially the novels. I started reading them back in the 80's with the Tom Baker character. This novel was delightful with the 9th doctor and Rose as his lovely side-kick. Set in Victorian London, suspense and intrigue splash this classic "Who done it." Delightful villains and unsuspecting friends make this an exciting reading experience. Highly recommended." — Gary4278 (5 out of 5 stars)

" Pretty good for Doctor Who story :) I figured out the end later than I thought I would and a small twist in the purpose of one of the characters was, I thought, cool :) "
" This book is definitely only enjoyable if you watch and like the television show. This is a book you read so that you don't have to think, and that's why I read it. "
" Nicely done. Enjoyed on audiobook. "
" The first novel of the new Doctor Who series gets the range off to a very good start. Good pacing and interesting characters and character development, make for a solid and enjoyable, if unspectacular story. "
" This had to have been written very early or before the reboot premiere because the characters really don't match the tv series at all. Plus is needed an editor badly. "
" Good story enjoyed the first novel with the Doctor and rose kept me guessing "
" I don't know why so many people rag on these books. From what I understood these are young adult to begin with. And I thought it was typical of the 2005 series. Fun. A little cheesy. Entertaining way to pass a late evening. "
" I am so happy that these doctor who books are now on the barnes and nobel nook. :) "
" I can't remember this, as I read it sometime in primary school. "
" An okay read but it didn't grab my attention fully. "
" A good fun 9th Doctor romp. Nothing special, but better than some of the entries in this series. "
" Started promising, ended disappointingly poorly. It's the last quarter of the book, I shall now ignore the carefully nuanced background I've set up until this point end it it blah blah blah "
" This is a fun story to read, although at times the speech between the Doctor and Rose seems a little labored. On the whole though a fun tale. "
" Engaging and suspenseful, with excellent characterization, this Who book brings back my favorite Doctor and lets him shine. Even if the plot is a little far-fetched at times, it's a good short enjoyable Who romp. "
" All plot and no character development. Fine, but fluffy. "
" The E-book version had some problems with punctuation and capitalization, and even instances where I's were replaced by 1's. But overall, it was a pleasant read to pass the time. "
" I really enjoyed this book. It was exciting, with unexpected twists (at least for me they were unexpected) and interesting characters (besides the Doctor and Rose ;)) that I cared for. "
" So many Doctor Who books (and I have all the new ones)....a written review is unnecessary for them all. "
" It was good at what it was supposed to do - entertain people who are already fans of the show. "
" Sometimes, a girl needs a good old-fashioned escapist time. Some people buy romance novels; I buy Doctor Who novels. And you know what? I wouldn't mind re-reading this one, so there. "
" Eh, not terrible, but the Doctor and Rose aren't quite in character and at the end of the book the Doctor gives his leather jacket away. Um, WTF? That kind of thing grates on me. "
" This was an easy quick read that I really enjoyed. It was fun to think about the Doctor and Rose dealing with a Clockwise Man. I recommend this book to anyone that loves Doctor Who. "
