I f0und this book just kinda eh. But then again, I'm not really much of a Classic Who fan. In fact, I'm in the vast minority who was not impressed with what episodes I've seen with Tom Baker as The Doctor. What I will say is that it's a quick and easy read (being only 141 pages long). And it was written for the audience the show was originally aimed at - kids and teens. I honestly can't say that this book changed my mind on the Fourth Doctor or is encouraging me to find other Doctor Who books. But if you like this era of Doctor Who and need a quick read - you will probably like it.
