My favorite part of this whole book was the interview with its reader, Anthony Head, at the end. That's not to say it was an awful book; it was very entertaining. it's just not one of my favorite Doctor Who books and the interview is all kinds of awesome.

In the story, Rose & the Doctor stumble into a village filled with monsters, only to find that the monsters are coming to life from their nightmares. This wouldn't be a horrible, unsolvable problem until something the Doctor & Rose have encountered shows up! How do you get kids to stay awake long enough to defeat whoever is behind all this?

It's a good story with a dark, exciting plot. But there was nothing that jumped out and grabbed me as amazing. Nothing jumped out and grabbed me as out of character, either, though. In all, it was a nice ride but nothing incredible and not a lot of deep, thought-provoking moments, which is what I like to be assaulted with when reading Doctor Who. Anthony Head's reading was amazing, though. He did a fantastic job with it.
