Doctor Who The Day of the Troll (Audible Audio Edition) Simon Messingham David Tennant BBC Worldwide Limited Books Reviews
Like any good Doctor Who story, this one has a good mix of humour and fright. The fact that we don't really know anything about the villain for so long keeps the suspense mounting quite nicely. The story takes care not to take itself TOO seriously, however, relieving the tension at times with the series' usual brand of humour. The wonderful Mr. Tennant reads it beautifully, and I enjoyed the different voices he gave each character--the South African in particular was fun, even if he didn't last long.
This story has a solid atmospheric beginning as the head of a research effort in a post-Second Ice age in Britain disappears and his sister is left babbling incoherent as a strange monster emerges and members of the research team begin to disappear.
The story builds a great sense of mystery but does eventually become a somewhat standard base under siege story with a solo Tenth Doctor. This is somewhat appropriate given that the tale feels like a follow-up to the Second Doctor Story, The Ice Warriors. Overall, a decent story, if a bit standard.
SPOILERS AHEAD.
My first book by Simon Messingham. Hello Simon Messingham, I'm here to judge you!
This book was okay.
It took place in Apocalypse England set in 2073 (how that's the far future I don't know). The planet was completely barren, no crops, no water kind of thing. There was a small group led by a rich guy (Karl) trying to attempt a new method to grow food in England. The Doctor popped in when Karl and and his sister, Katy, go to check on something. Karl goes missing under a bridge, and Katy freaks out and runs into the Time Lord.
Basically... The scientists get sabotaged by the higher-ups and there's this plant that has been growing under the earth for billions of years and ends up taking over Karl and the Grange, etc.
The troll, the monster-of-the-week... was a plant. It annoyed me that the monster kept getting called a troll even though scientists and the Doctor recognized it as a plant.
I felt like it was a Who story that has been told again and again. The only slight new spin on this tale was that there was a ghost story atmosphere to this.
Even Tennant's reading didn't add much to this story. And I love Tennant.
I'd recommend this to fans of Who, who like Tennant's voice *swoon*. But also and especially if you like ghost/horror/creepy stories.
Nobody does the 10th Doctor better than David Tennant! When I saw that this Doctor Who audiobook was narrated by Tennant, I checked it out of my local library's digital site immediately. A 10th Doctor fix! Yay!!
This story was so much fun to listen to! A future Earth is a place of starvation, famine and wasteland. England is a barren, abandoned expanse, but a group of scientists are struggling in vain to plant crops. Not only are their efforts to grow food failing, but something much more sinister is lurking out there in the empty wasteland...waiting. Karl Bering and his sister, Katy, are out checking their experimental crops, when Karl is snatched away by something. Luckily, the Doctor appears (dah daaaaaa dah!) and carries her back to the facility. What took Karl? Will Katy be ok? And what is out there??
David Tennant is stellar as the 10th Doctor in this BBC audiobook! Every time something bad happens or a monster appears, he grins and says it's fantastic. ha ha! It's everything I loved about the episodes of Doctor Who he starred in! Once when a large monster is attacking the group it says "Comeeeeee with meeeeee!'' in this really spooky voice. The Tenth Doctor's reply?? "You ought to brush your teeth!'' LOL!!
As with most other BBC audio presentations, the production value is fabulous with neat sound effects added. Simon Messingham wrote a great Doctor Who story -- very enjoyable! David Tennant is quite talented as narrator. His performance is more acting than just reading. He voices all the characters wonderfully even doing a croaky voice for the monsters. Fab! I have hearing loss, but I was easily able to hear and understand Tennant's performance, even with all the sound effects and his accent. Just an enjoyable experience!
10th Doctor fans & those who enjoy Doctor Who will love this audiobook! At just over 2 hours long, it is a quick listen. I happily let the Doctor keep me company while I cleaned house. Luckily, no troll popped out of my linen closet. ) Well worth the time! Fun story!
Great story. I found myself emersed so much that i felt like i was actually there. I fully recommend this story
The story is good on its own but, being read by David Tennant adds that little bit extra to it to make it great. David lends his voice to all the characters but, its Doctor voice that helps to really put you in the story.
A good listen for any Dr. Who fan.
Excellent story.
David Tennant tells a very good story. It makes for excellent listening, especially on long trips, we enjoyed it very much!
