" A lot better than I was expecting. "

" Like the actual episodes, a little long. "

" I remember that I didn't really care for this one as much as <em>Doctor Who: The Aztecs</em>. "

" I recently started to read Dr. Who books. They aren't the greatest written books, but like a lot of science fiction, they are creative. "
— Zeppo, 9/28/2009 -
" Harlan's introduction was the best part of the book. The rest of it is strictly for hard-core fans who lived in the days before VCRs and DVD players were commonplace. Take the performance part out of Doctor Who, and the fun takes a serious hit. "

" ONe of the Who books that improves on the TV episode, as it isn't hampered by a cheap special effects budget. <br/> <br/>The Doctor and JO Grant return to modern day London to find the people are gone and dinosaurs are roaming the streets. "
