Review - Doctor Who Series 1: Winter's Dawn, Season's End



Disclaimer:  I received this book free from Diamond Book Distributors in exchange for an honest review.  I did not receive any form of compensation.

The description that was provided to me by NetGalley for this particular graphic novel was definitely incorrect.  But that is quite alright.  I still loved it anyway.

The graphic novel takes place with the Doctor as portrayed by Matt Smith.  The copy that I received only had two stories within it and not the 16 stories that it stated on NetGalley.

It takes place shortly after Amy & Rory lose Melody/River.  The first story tells how they deal with it and also how they spend their anniversary.  I loved the fact that the questions that the show had left open were actually answered in this graphic novel.

The second story took place shortly afterwards.  Amy felt that the reason the Doctor and Rory didn't have a great relationship is because they never had time together to really do some male bonding.  So she sends the two of them off for a little R&R time together.  Again, this story helped answer some questions that the TV series left hanging in the air.

The art was ok.  There were some spots where the characters looked a little weird, especially Rory.  I am not sure why that was.  And in the second story, there were two very different styles of drawing.  In fact, they even would have the two styles in the same frame.  It became a little disconcerting.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable book.  I really wished that it would have had the full amount of stories that it stated.  It is hard to do a decent review when you only get a quick peek at something.  That would be like only getting to see the grill of a car but having to give a description about the car as a whole.  It simply can't be done.

Long Time No Post

Well, I finally got rid of my old website. I just couldn't handle all the spam comments I got on a daily basis. I might have some of my posts saved to my computer. If so, then I will put them into this blog. In the meantime, I am going to try to become active in blogging again. I can't promise anything. I had gotten so discouraged by the spam, that I had completely given up.

Review–An Apple A Day

Image
  Image via Wikipedia Book Description   From Old Testament proverbs to modern phrases like "the best things in life are free," An Apple a Day takes a fun look at expressions that "have stood the test of time."

You'll learn about each proverb's surprising origins, why some are valid and others are not, the derivation and meanings behind them, and their relevance in today's society. Includes entries like: Two heads are better than one: Like the less-familiar "Four eyes see better than two," this proverb extols the benefits of having someone else help you make up your mind-and it's a view that goes back to at least the fourteenth century. But while it is always useful to have a second opinion (A sounding board? Someone else to blame?) it might also be worth bearing in
