This is the latest in my following and reading along of Paul's Blog Now as I remember I enjoyed the tv version of this story. I can't really say the same for the book. It's not told with any gusto. It's like a bored person describing the events. You don't feel any sense of danger, elation, anything. This should have been a good read. There's a good story to tell here. It's the first time I've been disappointed by a Target novelisation. I'm worried it won't be the last....

Total so far, Books - 26, Pages - 8,026
Next - I'm unsure. I need to decide on my holiday reading... I bet the suspense is killing you ;-)

Yeah, it's not the greatest adaptation but then, its not the greatest story either. I'm quite fond of the TV version despite its faults. Next Target for you is The Daemons... :)
This is one of Terrance Dicks autopilot novelisations from the days when he wrote on before breakfast each day. The Android Invasion is not a classic story by any means, but this novelisation doesn't really do it any favours either.
The Daemons is at the top of the pile when I get home. It looks a lot meatier :-)
