Wilcock Condensed: Free Doctor Who Books

Continuing my series of Wilcock Condensed

The full posting weighs in at a sprightly 4,768 words. Compressed and compacted, but with all the healthy natural content of the original, here is my Wilcock Condensed (WC for short) version:

Following the renewed success of Doctor Who on TV, lots of people are buying the Who books too.

Various books come free with SFX or Doctor Who Magazine at the moment: they’re all previously published books and they’re all good, though they’re not perfect. Read them all.

There are also some completely new books published by the BBC. They’re not bad, though they’re not perfect. Read them all.

There are some ebooks available on the BBC website. I’ve not got much to say about them, though they’re not perfect. Read them all.

There are also some Doctor Who Magazine specials out. Some bits of them are great, though they’re not perfect. Read them all.

4,768 words down to 114 words. I thank you.

Or in one sentence: Lots of Dr Who books; they’re not all great but as they all feature the Doctor you should read them all.

  1. Hurrah! It’s nice that you can still find time in your busy marching schedule to read my blog. I wonder, though, if you haven’t missed the point a little this time? In the twenty or so reviews in that ‘Free Books’ post (less than 250 words per review; bargain!), I gave an idea of which were the best to buy, and which to avoid. I expected your short version to boil me down to ‘Alex says buy such-and-such, but don’t buy this other one (unless you’re a completist)’. I’m not certain ‘Buy everything!’ is quite such a useful shopping tip.

  2. That was my plan Alex, but your reviews made all the books seem so good I just wanted to buy, buy, buy. It was like reading “Shoe Buyers Monthly”. I always want everything in there too.
