Doctor Who: A Book of Monsters

Rating:
Summary: Not the strongest in the series of Doctor Who Guides.
Review: Monsters is probably the weakest of David J. Howe's books. After such entries as "Time Frame", "The Eighties" and "Companions" this book falls flat. I didn't feel there was alot of information given about the monsters and the pictures chosen were less than tantilizing for me to enjoy it as a whole. Whereas his previous books which were filled with gorgeous pictures and tid bits of obscure information that keeps you interested thoughout the whole book. This one however gives me the feeling, "Ho Hum, that was nice." after I'm through reading it. It seems like this book was published in a hurry just to get another Doctor Who book on the shelves. It seems like every aspect of Doctor Who has been run dry and now they're just grasping for ideas. I certainly hope that this is not the case because it would be a real shame for someone as insightful as David J. Howe to ends a very successful series of books like this.
