"Well...First of all I wouldn't read these books if I wasn't a fan of the t.v. show...The books are poorly written and don't go into enough detail about he characters...However....You watch the t.v. show then you can manage without that. Now that being said let me get back to THIS book...I liked the whole possession, brain sucking, parasite storyline...I think the sub plot of Owen playing his online game was not only stupid but unecessary to the story." — Joseph (4 out of 5 stars)

" Not bad, but I've never liked Owen much, so this was too Owen-centric for me. Would rate it 2.5/5. "
" I LOVED this book. I actually listened to it as an audiobook and was really drawn in. I love the tv series and this book was just as interesting. "
" Reads like an extended episode. I really liked it. Now on to the next one! "
" First book from the BBC inspired by the Torchwood series featuring Captain Jack Harness from Doctor Who fame. For the fan of the series the book is a nice tie over until series 2 begins. There are three books so far. Another Life is set before Cyberwoman. If you haven't seen the series some of Ianto's behavior will not ring a bell for you. The plot is interesting but the pace is very slow. The characters' introduction are minimal. The author assumes that the readers know the players. Which is not a bad thing, it cuts on the repeats. The plot is slow to begin and not all the strands of the story fit nicely. But overall it's a interesting read. Not as good as some fan stories but definitely worth a look if you are a fan of the series. Yes, Jack harasses Ianto just like in the series. : ) "
" This reminds me of my husband--he's a WOW guy. If this were to ever come true, I think I would be in trouble! But I liked the story overall. "
" The audio version is perhaps a little too severally abridged. Not so much that you can not follow the story, but there are places where you have to make substantial assumptions. "
" Love anything to do with Doctor Who, Torchwood and the space and time world! "
" John Barrowman really brought this book to life in the audiobook version. It made it all the more precious as a season 1 Torchwood tale. Excellent. "
" Book was pretty good for a 1st book in the series headed toward number 2 "
" Not fantastic, compared with a couple of the other Torchwood novels, but it was still good. A nice 'bus-read'. "
" A very nice introduction to the Torchwood books. "
" Cool book! Lots of action, lots of Owen, some fun stuff. It a was a pleasure to read. "
" I can't help it, I love Jack Harkness. The story here is interesting and Jack is very Torchwood-Jack-- mysterious, cryptic, and bizarrely in love with the 1940s. "
" this was the first torchwood book i rad and even though it was for older ages than the doctor who ones i still enjoyed it. "
" i mean, we call it the crap torchwood novel book club for a REASON, but still. too much owen (yeah, i went there), too much rain, too much second person. "
" Best part was listening to John Barrowman's voice, story was a little mediocre. "
" Liked it - didn't love it. "
" Torchwood is good. If u watch the show you appreciate the book all the more. I did not like the computer games using up so much space. "
" A must for all torchwood fans "
" Just as an episode would be "
" An okay book. I like that it focused on Owen, but everything he did seemed a little out of character for him. "
" I really wanted to love this story. In all fairness though, this story does take place during the start of the Torchwood show and the characters are still somewhat indifferent towards one another. I do believe that the stories that take place later on will be better. "
" This book was very good- Its take you to read over few lines to understand it but it is a good book "
" I'm a big Torchwood fan so I'd read the books even if they weren't great. This one's just fine though. Not exactly a page-turner but a good read anyway. "
" It was ok. Maybe my expectations are too high, because I love the show so much, but although the storyline was interesting, it just wasn't as good. Perhaps I should adjust my expectations for these books if I'm going to continue reading them? "
" A good start to the series of Torchwood books. The author has a real feel for the characters. "
" This Torchwood adventure is pretty well written, and is almost as much fun as as episode of the tv show. There's an unlikely side-plot that sends Owen into a virtual-world computer game that doesn't really go anywhere, but the interaction between the other main characters is enjoyable. "
