Has time run out for the Doctor? Advantages: Good plot, quick read Disadvantages: Weak characterisation of the Doctor ...box set of ten new Doctor Who novels from ebay for a very cheap £5, and 'The Clockwise Man' is the first book in the set. It's the second Doctor Who novel that I've read, so I have something to compare it to. It's a good, quick read that should appeal to both adults and children alike.

But not everyone or everything ... ...faceless killers closing in, the Doctor and Rose must solve the mystery of the Clockwise Man before London itself is destroyed...

Is this a winner for the Doctor? Advantages: Great plot, well written and fantastic characterisation Disadvantages: The baddies are a little feeble ...the third book in the Doctor Who new series adventures, "Winner Takes All" by Jacqueline Rayner. I've heard, around the fandom, that most people aren't very impressed with this book, but I really enjoyed it. So much so that I read it in one sitting. Blurb (from the back of the book) Rose and the Doctor return to present-day Earth, and become intrigued by the latest craze - the video game, Death to Mantodeans. Is it as harmless as it seems? ... ...alien threat? And can the Doctor play the game to the end - and win? Plot (minor spoilers) Since the revival of Doctor Who, present-day Earth series seem to be the bane of the Doctor Who fandom. I, on the other hand, love them - especially whilst Rose was around; I found the banter between Jackie Tyler and the Doctor to be great, as well as the dynamic between the Timelord and Rose's ex Mickey Smith. So it's back to Earth for this story, when ... amytheduck 16.07.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Doctor Who: Winner Takes All - Jacqueline Rayner	Would you read it again?
