Doctor Who: The Taking of Chelsea 426 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Enjoyed the young twins in the story. And love the Sontarans as an alien race (they make me giggle) and the newcomers, the Rutan Hosts, were an interesting bunch. And the writer made Doctor Ten really come alive in this book. Enjoyed it immensely. "

" My least favourite so far. Nothing particularly against it but still... "

" Reading "Taking of 426" is like drinking a cola. You pop the top and slightly hesitate as you remember hearing not-so-great things about how drinking cola is bad for you and gets worse and worser over time the more you do and do it. Yet, for whatever reason, when you sip the would-be contraband you find the sluice of sticky sweet suds is suddenly refreshing. Your sip becomes a gulp and as you finish. And, as you finish, you offer yourself a promise: No more colas... Well, at least not until the next Chelsea 426 Flower Show. [[[Simply put, while 426 is not among the best Doctor novels, it was an entertaining flight of whimsy. 426 easily delights as a "beach read" or "brain bubble bath".]]] Llewelyn captured the Sontaran spirit of single minded attempt to pursue war while layering just enough anti-war tutelage from the Doctor to make you wonder if those crazy potato heads may one day find peace enthralling. Naaaah. The Rutans were interesting, however they lacked breadth in backstory or depth of portrayal within the plot. "

" It was good - very light reading. "

" Eh, it's alright. A bit light in the doctor-y-ness. Good story, more intricate than a lot of the other books from the new series. "

" A nice addition to the Doctor Who universe. You get Sontarans, Rutans, and David Tennant's Doctor. What more could you want? "

" A good Doctor Who book....of the most recent three that have been published, this would be the best of the lot. "

" Great Dr Who book, although I still think the Dr needs a companion. "

" Great read. Finished it in 2 days. "

" This was a fun read. I had 10 in my head the entire time which made the story really come to life. Allons-y! "

" The book was okay, but I'd rather watch an episode of Doctor Who than read about one -- in this case. "

" We finally get to meet the Rutans, mentioned in "The Sontaran Strategem" and of course, the Sontarans are back. "

" Witty, fast-paced invasion novel with the Tenth Doctor facing old enemies. "

" very funny in places and a good take on the sontarans "

" Not my favorite Doctor Who book and I think a lot had to do with the narrator. Christopher Ryan’s reading made it sound like he was spitting saliva at times. I should have read through the printed version of this one. "

" It was good - very light reading. "

" Great read. Finished it in 2 days. "

" The best (well, maybe) Doctor Who book so far. Very well paced. Classic Sontarans. Gotta love 'em. Well, no you don't. I do though. =) If you like the Doctor, read it. "
