blue_ant96. Hidden by Steven Savile (read by Naoko Mori)
The last of the available Torchwood audiobooks that have been released (so far). This one was by far one of the best, I think this is because the author managed to capture a lot of show in the story. It wasn't great, and the Torchwood ones are not nearly as good as the Doctor Who audiobooks. But Naoko Mori is an excellent reader, even if it took me a bit to get used to the way she portrayed Jack.
97. Love and Blood: At the World Cup with the Footballers, Fans, and Freaks by Jamie Trecker
A lot of people I know don't like this book, but I did. I thought it was a lot of fun and I tried not to take it too seriously. It's the kind of book that I'd give a friend/family member who doesn't know much about the sport. Trecker does talk down to his audience, but I figured it was because he assumed the readers would not be avid WC/soccer fans. I thought the story worked well and his footnotes were amusing. I will probably buy this book for my mother for Christmas.
98. Planet of the Daleks by Terrance Dicks (read by Jon Pertwee)
I actually listened to this earlier this month, or maybe last, and completely forgot to add it to the list. First of all, Pertwee is a brilliant reader, secondly, Dicks is a great author of Doctor Whoo books. He makes them fun and interesting, and this one was no exception. It was Romana and the Doctor again, off on another adventure. But this time, they were on, oddly enough, a planet that was about to be colonized by Daleks. Of course the Doctor couldn't let that happen, and so much dramatic action enues. Another thing I quite liked was how independent Romana was. The Doctor helped her a bit, but she also helped herself. I wish that more of the Doctor Who novelists would do this.
