It's been ages since I've watched Torchwood, but when I saw this on the library shelves I remembered how much I enjoyed it. I liked the book - its great advantage is the pace, which is nice and zippy - but if the villains (both of them) are pretty paint-by-numbers both on the thug and the speculative side, then it's still a decent enough popcorn read. I read it while eating takeaways after a long day and it was exactly the kind of entertainment I wanted at the time. Quick, brainless fun.
