My wife bought this for me as a Halloween gift knowing I’m a BIG Dr Who fan and the thought means a lot. Designed to mark the 50th anniversary of the original broadcast of Dr Who, the BBC’s show about a time travelling alien with a fondness for earth, it looks nice enough but it really focuses far too much on the modern adventures of the last 8 years and really is just for the kids and fan boys.The book contains a comic story adventure of the current Dr, a very brief look at the 11 doctors and why they regenerated and an incomplete list of the Doctor’s companions over time (incomplete, No Herbert George Wells((who traveled with the 6th doctor in the adventure timelash)), no Craig and no Clayton Delaware III) several lists such as facts about the doctor and monsters the doctor has fought but disappointedly for something marking 50 years of the Doctor far too much was on the newer adventures and monster and far less about the older adventures as if they are worried younger readers won’t recognize the older enemies and instead of educating them, talk down to them.Other details include a couple of picture puzzles-what’s changed/missing, a maze you get the idea.In the end it is fun if you’re a fan but it is lacking a better quality of writing that reduces it to just for the kids.I’ll keep mine as a reminder and for the sentiment expressed by my wife. But if you’re only a passing fan and over age 12 look to some other product to celebrate the milestone with.
Fun to browse thru even if you old enough to have seen the series when it first started 'back in the day'. Illustrations are excellent and there is a guide to all the aliens and enemies of earth so you can keep them straight as well as one for all the companions. Would be a great present for newbies to the world of Dr Who and for long time fans....it is packed with information about the series.
My whole family are Who fans, and I got this for my 5 and 1/2 year old who had one from another year and was obsessed with it; she was thrilled to get this new one for Christmas. She is younger than the target audience (it feels like it's for 8-10 year olds), but she can play the games in it, loved the monster hunt (there are 50 Who monsters dispersed throughout the book that have to be found and checked off...), and loves the two graphic stories (they have two in each annual), plus there's an additional text only story. She's missing the quizzes from the previous annual, but they are more than made up for by all the extra info. about all of the Doctors and 50 years of monsters. If your kid is a Who fan, and especially if you are from the classic era, this annual is a fun way to catch them up on the old Doctors and monsters - smoothly integrating them with the new era.
I bought this used. When I got it, it looked brand new. I doubt the cover was ever opened. It was in excellent shape. This book was meant for my 10 year old daughter who is a huge Dr. a who fan. She loved it. It had tons of activities, stories,games, trivia and even a quiz. It's not a thick book but it's packed full of fun things to read or do. I enjoyed it myself. While I can definitely tell it's targeted at children, the book was very enjoyable for me. She's been carrying it everywhere with her and people keep coming up and asking where she got it. Definitely will be buying other editions.
My sons loves-Loves-LOVES this book! He is 11, and loves taking this in the car and reading it. It has great quality color pictures. Well worth the money. It is a hard back book too. I expect it too last for years even with him looking at it as much as he does. If I remember correctly, this book took about 4 or 5 days to get. Still not bad in shipping speed.
I got this for my husband for Christmas. He did love getting an Annual, like when he was a kid, but there really wasn't any "new" information in here. It is very cute and fun, but there's nothing in here that you can't read about on the internet.
I am basking in the glow of husbandly approval. The book was a wonderful Christams gift for my husband who enjoys pretty much all things Doctor Who.While this is technically more for younger viewers and not super long, he loves it and it gives him something more age appropriate to share with the 6 year old and 5 year old who are just now wanting to know what the fuss is about when it comes to this show. So I killed three birds with one Doctor Who book. Mostly because I'm super Mom!
Over the years with my ever-evolving Doctor, I have purchased several of the Annuals; and though they are always fun and entertaining, they tend to be more buck than bang. However, the beautiful people of BBC publications outdid themselves with the 50th Anniversary Annual! This is a great book to introduce the series to a young person! There's a short comic, games, a huge quiz, fun history, and my favorite part: A monster search throughout the book, 'Where's Waldo' style! It's easily the best Annual since the Tennant years : )
