Zanytown, The Crooked World Synopsis The people of the Crooked World lead an idyllic existence. Take Streaky Bacon, for example. This jovial farmer wants nothing more from life than a huge blunderbuss, with which he can blast away at his crop-stealing nemesis. And then there's Angel Falls, a racing driver with a string of victories to her name. Sure, her trusted guardian might occasionally put on a mask and menace her for her prize money, but that's just life, right? And for Jasper the cat, nothing could be more pleasant than a nice, long nap in his kitchen — so long as that darn mouse doesn't jam his tail into the plug socket again. But somebody is about to shatter all those lives. Somebody is about to change everything — and it's possible that no one on the Crooked World will ever be happy again. The Doctor's TARDIS is about to arrive. And when it does... That's all folks!

(Originally written on TheTimeScales) I remember hearing about this book and being like, “Oh shit, it’s Doctor Who and cartoons crossing over?!?! Literally childhood dreams coming true!” So I bought it and started reading and damn… this is one excellent yet kinda depressing story. Yeah despite the colorful and chirpy cover this story delves into existentialism for the characters, the Doctor getting shot by a Porky Pig parody, that same parody almost committing suicide, Fitz trying to get with a literal cartoon woman with zero anatomy… Fuck I love the Wilderness Years man. And don’t worry, this book isn’t all 100% depressing, Evangelion type shit there’s plenty of humor and fun moments to break up the seriousness. The Eighth Doctor is perfection in this book, beautifully characterized. Anji and Fitz are companions that I’m not all too familiar with since this the only EDA book I’ve read but they’re great characters and I love the sub plots that they go on, especially Fitz’s I highly recommend this novel. Top tier Doctor Who content and one of my favorite books imo. Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating201 members 3.81 / 5 GoodReads AVG. Rating201 votes 3.81 / 5 The Time Scales AVG.
