The Virgin New Adventures n.1
You see, when I talked about this book in the r/Doctorwho Discord server, people warned me about this book...Now I see why.
This book was...Yuck. It barely felt like Doctor Who, scantily clad 13-year-old girls (and if you, who are probably in their 20s felt uncomfortable, you can imagine how someone who was much near that age felt), Gilgamesh groping someone else's wife, and worst of all...The Doctor scolds Ace for being rightfully disgusted at Gilgamesh's revolting and paedophilic behaviour. What the devil am I reading?!?! I've never watched a Seventh Doctor serial before, but even I could tell he was very out of character!
Then I found that the author of this travesty seemed to dislike the Seventh Doctor and Ace. Suddenly, many things made sense. Do I recommend reading this book? HA! No.
But there's a redeemable trait for this book. It boosted my confidence in writing, my Doctor Who fanfics are way better than this rubbish.
I hope the next one is better, Uncle Terry, don't disappoint me!
