![]() And similar to the TV season, there some are some seriousness social concerns, just beneath the surface. ![]() The plot, which loosely reminds me of the First Doctor serial "The Ark" - as far as returning to the same place centuries later and discovering that the littlest thing has unintentionally turned an entire society on its head - is presented lightly, with a level of humor akin to that of the 2018 TV season. And author Juno Dawson puts the perfect words into her mouth. I know that I said it before, but seriously Clare Corbett's 13th Doctor is spot-on. This one, for me was a hit - particularly in the audiobook format. I've read a handful of Doctor Who books, dating back to the 1990's, and they are very hit and miss. As such, my expectations are typically low, and the average book ends up an enjoyable take-it-or-leave-it diversion. Many of them are written by authors with no direct ties to the specific show, whose oeuvre runs the gamut of a wealth of genre TV show tie-ins. TV show tie-in novels are often a mixed bag. ![]() Both in its mixture of lightness with a message, and well as in narrator Clare Corbett's spot-on take on Whittaker's 13th Doctor. ![]() Considering that this came out mere weeks into Jodie Whittaker's first season as The Doctor (and thus must've been written and recorded while the TV season was in production), it's amazing how well "The Good Doctor" fits in with that season. ![]()
