    Best tie-in novel yet - by far
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 26, 2009*

My expectations for this novel were not high, I'll admit: I've read all the Rose-era novels, and for the most part they're forgettable. I did enjoy some more than others - Jacq Rayner's Winner Takes All stands out for snarky Nine and Mickey, and some rather nice Nine and Rose segments, but the Jack novels were mostly awful because of very poor Jack characterisation - no more than a caricature. The Ten and Rose novels were mostly readable, but I've read far, far better fanfic.I think overall my issue with the novels is something that isn't really the authors' fault: they're aimed at a teenage audience, for the most part. The focus isn't intended to be characterisation or character development; for the most part, the audience wants familiar characters and a plot that has enough twists and scary bits to keep them interested. Personally, I tend to need a bit more than that to keep me interested, in particular character development and relationship development - and I stress that I mean relationships of all kinds: family and friendship above all.Beautiful Chaos gave me all that and more, and above all characters I could recognise, whose dialogue leaped off the page such that I could hear it in my head as I read, and really developed Sylvia and Wilf, and Donna's relationship with them, beyond what we see on-screen and made the Mott/Noble family so very much richer as a result.The book actually starts post-Season 4, with Sylvia visiting Wilf up at the allotment, and we get to see the impact on the two of them of what the Doctor did to Donna - whether or not any of us feels that he had a choice, it can't be denied that he left Wilf and Sylvia with an enormous burden and didn't do anything to help them cope with it. This prologue, and the epilogue, are close to heartbreaking.The main story is set some time before that, after The Doctor's Daughter and before the Library episodes. The Doctor brings Donna home for the first anniversary of her dad's death, and of course he gets caught up in an adventure. It's a rattling good alien adventure - the Mandragora tries to take over Earth - but  there's the backdrop of Donna's family dynamics, her conflicted relationship with her mum, the secret of what she's really doing with the Doctor which she and Wilf are keeping from Sylvia - and Wilf's lady friend, who is an Alzheimer's sufferer.The Doctor, surprisingly, even seems willing to play domestic, at least a bit - but Russell gets him perfectly as well, including his manipulative side. And the Doctor-Donna close friendship is played perfectly, as is Wilf's love and protectiveness for Donna. He and the Doctor understand each other perfectly on that one, which make the post-Journey's End bookends even more poignant.Much to my surprise, this book gave me a much better understanding of, and even sympathy for, Sylvia. I'm expecting that the other Donna novels won't live up to this standard. Whether they do or not, if you're a Doctor Who fan and loved Donna's time as the companion, this one should be added to your reading-list post-haste.

    We have so missed Donna Noble
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2013*

Author Gary Russell has also been a script writer for the TV series and in this book does us all a big favor.  It starts and end with the time when Donna Noble has all memories erased by Doctor Whoto save her life.  In between is a very good story.  Typical of other Doctor Who books with an evil force wanting to take over the Earth and universe.  What makes this special is Donna Noble.  The author knowsCatherine Tate, who played Donna on TV, and perfectly captures the spirit of Donna in this book.  The best part, for me, was the interaction between Donna and The Doctor.  In looking back at all my DVDsof seasons with Doctors nine to eleven and then old ones I have bought I have to say that Donna Noble is my favorite associate.  Her grandfather is also very well handled and always was interesting.We like Clara well enough as well as Amy, Rory, Martha, Rose and Sarah Jane.  However Donna Noble adds something extra.  And Catherine Tate herself is an excellent actress, more experienced than anypast or present associate.  A brilliant writer herself.

    A classic Doctor and Donna tale
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 23, 2013*

Gary Russell has written a classic Doctor Who tale, which focuses on the thing that endears us most to the Doctor, the relationship between the Doctor, his companion, and the people they meet.  While the story itself is pretty typical, alien intelligence tries to take over Earth, it is the interaction of the Doctor, Donna, and her family that truly make the story interesting.The story starts after Donna has all her memories of her travels with the Doctor blocked, but then flashes back to when she was still traveling with the Doctor.  The story takes place on Earth during a time when Donna is back visiting her family.  The theme of family and memory are really the basics of the tale, and the author really nails the personality of each of the main characters. It reads just like a TV episode, and I could easily see it as a Doctor and Donna episode. If you like the 10th Doctor and Donna, you will enjoy this book.
