Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

The Doctor Who books (new 2005 series) are all short but very sweet. They are pretty simple, but I love how they convey the same humor and feelings that a traditional Doctor Who tv episode does. The books I have read so far all had that same great humor by the Doctor that I love, which is why these books are almost like comfort food for me.
In this book the Doctor (9th) and Rose find a genuine Neanderthal in the UK, in Bromley, in the twenty-first century. When they find out how he got there, they discover a colony of future humans living in 26.000 BC. They are using a crude time-travel device, and the Doctor needs to figure out what they are doing there and stop them using the device again. Meanwhile, there is also the problem of the Neaderthal to think of.
Like I said, a great short book, truly Doctor Who.
