A review by isabellarobinson7
Doctor Who: Big Bang Generation: A Novel by Gary Russell
2.0
Rating: 2 stars
It is Bledisloe season, and a Kiwi decides to review a book set in Australia. So while they get used to their 22nd straight year without the trophy (and their fourth straight year without winning a game in the series at all) I shall give their book 2 stars. Maybe I should watch Crocodile Dundee while I'm at it and leave a 1 star Letterboxd review.
But anyway, this book. To be honest, I don't have that much to say about it, but I wanted to make that joke so here we are. I do actually have a couple of thoughts, the first being that for a book with the Sydney Harbour Bridge prominently displayed on the cover, it left a little to be desired with the amount of Aussie-ness actually present between the pages. The tone was good though, in that it had a bit of a Douglas Adams feel to it, and helped contrast the casual Australian snark with the Doctor's Scottish grump.
