Description

'No one from this time will ever see that girl again...'

The Doctor, Amy and Rory round off a sight-seeing tour round London with a trip to the theatre. That's when things start to go wrong.

The Doctor wonders why so many young girls are going missing from the area. When he sees Sammy Star's amazing magic act, he thinks he knows the answer. Sammy's glamorous assistant disappears at the climax of the act - but this is no stage trick.

The Doctor and his friends team up with residents of an old people's home to discover the truth. And together they find themselves face to face with a deadly Weeping Angel.

Whatever you do - don't blink!

A thrilling all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television

I love the weeping Angels and I love doctor who. This book, while automatically awesome, was geared more towards kids. When they say "quick reads" they aren't kidding. I finished it in about 30 minutes. Granted, I'm a fast reader. So if you're looking for a good short Dr. Who novel, this is a good one to go with. The interest level seems to fall out a little in the end but overall well-thought-out. Would recommend for 2.99.

A fantastic read, but some annoyance with the fact of the paragraphing being a bit off and the quotation is somewhat bad. However, the idea was absolutely fabulous and the story was well written. This is a book a will defiantly be suggesting to all fellow Whovians who I may come across.
Decent plot setup, mediocre follow through

I'm not entirely convinced some of the stuff that happened here line up with what we know about the Doctor. The banter is a bit... Off... And **** SPOILER ALERT **** the Weeping Angels are left in a position where they could cause trouble, despite what the book implies. It's kind of like the author got bored halfway through.

Aside from that, it's a good diversion for an hour or so. Just don't expect a great story.
Entertaining!

A well-done but short-ish Doctor Who story. The characters were written true to form. The Weeping Angels are always menacing, but the story is a bit creepy in light of Season 7. I liked it.
