A terrible waste of money - By: 8th Doctor Fan, 14 Jul 2008 
I bought this audio book because I enjoy David Tennant's readings. He does a wonderful array of voices & accents in everything he does. However, the story was just awful. This author has never been a particular favorite of mine, but has been in the past, passable. Tennant's talent wasn't enough to pull this tiresome, BORING story out of the morass. Don't waste your money on this one.
bugging out - By: Paul Tapner, 15 May 2008 
a talking book doctor who cd. read by david tennant, who plays the doctor on tv. This runs for two & a half hours spread over two cd's. It's not an audio play, it's more like one of the current range of doctor who novels, being read out by someone.
The story involves the doctor & current companion donna arriving on a world where humans & a race of alien centaurs are fighting a war. strange things are happening to some of the humans, who are turning into monsters. the tardis is lost. & there's a big robot on the loose that seems intent on killing absolutely everything. can the doctor rescue the tardis, stop the war, & find out what's reallly going on?
This is not a classic story but it's fine for what it is, & hits alll the notes you'd expect in regards to things that happen to the tardis crew. david tennant is an excellent reader & very good to listen to. he narrates in his normal tone, but does the doctor's voice for when that character is talking, & provides different voices for alll the other characters. one of them I found slightly too comedic but the rest are very good. his impression of donna does slightly sound like her with a blocked up nose, but it's very good indeed.
there are roughly twenty two tracks on each cd but there are no part breaks in the story so it can be a bit long to listen to in one go. & whilst it's a bit slow to start the pacing does reallly pick up in the second half. so this is nothing special, but it's a good listen, & it's worth 4/5
