Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters


I'll start off by saying that I think the serial this book is based on - Doctor Who and the Silurians - is one of the best of the Pertwee era. This novelisation however is one of the worst I've ever read. I'd heard good things about Malcolm Hulke's work, about how he fleshed out his characters and told the story from multiple viewpoints. While this is true, I found his writing style to be stilted and it left me unimpressed. It's easily one of the worst Doctor Who novel I've ever read.
