A good read!
Amazing book on all the companions. I'd recommend it to big doctor who fans and casual doctor who fans. It's a great way to learn about the all the companions :)
A very well researched book, that taught me a lot about Doctor Who and made me realize I need to be more than a casual fan.
I love this book - which is both funny and informative!
Thoroughly researched, essential book for the Dr. Who fan who just needs to know the background of all the Doctor's companions. A terrific read.
