The Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who

I love it so much. Couldn't wait to read the whole book.

Doctor Who is so full of weird and experimental sciences that a full on discussion or explanation only makes it all the more interesting. Add to that the stories between chapters, this book is so full of new experiences and interesting scientific phenomena that it'll keep you immersed in it. Every chapter gives you theories to ruminate on, enough to write a thesis of your own.

This is an entertaining read that weaves very decent storytelling (spanning several of the Doctor's incarnations) with an overview of related scientific concepts, explained simply and with solid footing on the history of science. The title, so far, seems a bit misleading though -- I expected speculation on the future of theory/technology with potential to fill the bag of the Doctor's many tricks, so I'm taking one star away. Still, an entertaining and reasonably informative read.

I started to read this in the Denver Public Library while on vacation. I couldn't finish it but felt it is well written and easy to understand so I got it for my home library.

My granddaughter loves watching Doctor Who and thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

This was a very interesting and informative book. Even though the show is science fiction some of the concepts are real today.

I've been a Dr. Who fan since David Baker played The Doctor in the 70's and have even watched the earlier Dr. Who's on Netflix. Both the character, the plots, and especially the special effects have improved over time! I never worried about the actual science behind the series, but was interested to learn of the actual scientific basis for many of the episodes - and what is impossible - without the magical abilities of the Tardis. I am sure there are more episodes that are scientifically based than the few demonstrated in this book, and am looking forward to an additional book by this author.

This was a gift for my boyfriend's son, who is a major Doctor Who fan. He loves it!!
