McEwan, Cameron K Unofficial Doctor Who: The Big Book of
LISTS. Race Point Publishing Group, 2015. $21.99. Content: G
McEwan does a masterful job of collecting facts and figures
from the long-running British TV show, Doctor Who. Hardcore fans of the show
will enjoy examining information about characters, actors, and storylines in
the show. The book includes some details
about the original Who series that aired in the ‘60s-‘80s, but mostly focuses
on the 2005 reboot. Including these details can appeal to fans of either
generation of Who.
Because Doctor Who is increasingly popular among teens, this
information can easily appeal to a number of Middle or High school students.
This is not a novel with a storyline—it’s a companion to the show that will
ONLY engage students family (and fond of) the British SciFi. The book is
colorful and could be a good source to get non-readers picking up a book. You
can flip to any page and learn some facts about Who. I recommend it to
libraries with a definite population of kids that enjoy watching Who, and
especially students that aren’t avid readers and could use something fun.
