Dear God, Why?!

Doctor Who: Only Human - Gareth Roberts

I got this book as part of Barnes and Noble's Free Fridays program. Usually they're misses, but sometimes you get a great book. This was not one of those times.

 

I got about 20 pages in and could not handle it. It seemed to have no plot, and the characters just fell flat. I don't understand how this book got a publishing deal, as there is no actual merit to it. It doesn't seem to have much in the way of depth, and the trope of "super skinny pretty new girl at school is special" is becoming rather trite, to be honest.

 

If any writers are reading this, please remember to give your characters more depth and to avoid trite tropes such as the above. Your readers will thank you.
