I just made a terrible, terrible mistake.

I downloaded Doctor Who: Nuclear Time to my Kindle.

This is a very, very bad novel. Awful. The plot is stretched so this and twisted so far that even the minor amount of credibility required by a Doctor Who story is missing.

Totally.

Bloody awful, if I may.

I don't know if it's as jarring to a British reader, but as an American, it it really, really weird when Americans speak British. I can get through descriptive stuff where Americans are wearing trainers and holding doors open with their bums and whatnot, but at least try to Yank-Up the dialog!!
