Unofficial Doctor Who: The Big Book of Lists

  Written by Doctor Who fan-blogger, Cameron K. McEwan, this is a great unofficial book of lists pertaining to all things Doctor Who. Past and present, all of the Doctors, companions, and a good chunk of all of the episodes are covered here. As with any book that is written without the expressed permission of the the creators/ owners (in this case the BBC), there's some repetition. I guess that is excusable since this is a book filled with top 10 lists. But it can get a little boring.
    There's not so much extra stuff devoted to spin-offs like Torchwood or Who works that aren't really canon, such as the two feature films starring Peter Cushing (Star Wars) or anything really directed at the novelizations and comics. Maybe a volume 2 will cover this?
    I saw this book when it first came out in stores in April of 2015. It's a visually stunning piece with photo-realistic renderings of all the Doctors and some classic monsters and companions by Doctor Who official merchandise artist Andrew Skilleter. But why does my Doctor, Peter Davison, have to has his light blonde hair tinted green? No, it's not because of the celery he wears on his lapel either!
     The book also comes with a quiz in the back. I mostly glossed over it. It's comprised all of famous sayings, but I was getting tired or going back and forth to see if I got the answers right. Maybe I'll quiz my wife on these, however. She's a budding Whovian and she loves a good quiz or two.
     At $23 new, it's a little expensive for something that isn't officially licensed Who. But if you can find in on sale, like I did for $5, it is Worth Consuming and a great read at your own pace without getting bogged down in details kinda book.

   Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
