One imperfect letter, one missing page

96. *Doctor Who: The Last Dodo by Jacqueline Rayner, read by Freema Agyeman (audiobook, abridged) (2:24)

Martha asks the Doctor to take her to see the last dodo, which leads them into unexpected trouble (as usual).

Freema Agyeman (who played Martha Jones on Doctor Who) is an excellent reader. The story was decent and there were some unexpected twists and turns along the way. There was an odd stylistic quirk where sometimes the story was in third person and sometimes the story was in first person with Martha speaking directly to the reader, but it was always clearly stated when it happened. Overall, I enjoyed it.

97. *Doctor Who: Forever Autumn By Mark Morris, read by Will Thorp(e) (audiobook, unabriged) (2:12)

The Doctor and Martha land in a small New England town that is being overrun by aliens. It's Halloween.

Mediocre at best, and I've seen the same kind of story elsewhere. Also, the reader, Will Thorp(e), does a great Ten, an okay Martha, and absolutely awful American accents.

98. *Doctor Who: Peacemaker By James Swallow, read by Will Thorp(e) (audiobook, abridged) (2:08)

The Doctor and Martha find an Old West town that has been mysteriously "cured" of smallpox.

Not bad, overall, except again, Will Thorp(e)'s American accents are rubbish and kept jarring me out of the story.

99. *Torchwood: The Sin Eaters by Brian Minchin, read by Gareth David-Lloyd (audiobook) (2:10)

A corpse appears in the water near a rift spike and the team must figure out how he died, and how to save the rest of the city. Or something like that.

The plot is okay, but what is really great about this audiobook is the characterization, interaction, and most of all Gareth David-Lloyd's reading. Not only is his reading lovely to listen to, but his portrayals of Jack, Gwen, and Rhys (and of course Ianto) are spot-on.

99. *Torchwood: In the Shadows by Joseph Lidster, Read by Eve Myles (audiobook) (2:27)

Slightly predictable, and the characterization is a bit shaky at times, but incredibly creepy. Eve Myles is another great reader.

Why do so many Torchwood books have to do with religious fanatics?

100. *Doctor Who: The Forever Trap by Dan Abnett, Read by Catherine Tate (audiobook) (2:21)

The Doctor and Donna are trapped in an apartment complex with the oddest of neighbors.

This one was kind of fun, although these sorts of stories always lack a certain amount of tension since we know that the main characters are in no real danger. Catherine Tate is an entertaining reader; I've noticed that I prefer the books read by voices from the shows.

88. *The Professor's Daughter by Joann Sfar (64)
Graphic Novel, recommended to me by my sister. Beautiful illustrations and a fantastic, hilarious story. I recommend it to pretty much anyone.

89. *Doctor Who: Pest Control by Peter Anghelides, read by David Tennant (2h24m)
The Doctor and Donna land on a planet being colonized by the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire. It's the middle of a war. But who is the real enemy?

Overall I found this a predictable and not terribly exciting story. It's always fun to listen to David Tennant read, though.

90. Peeps by Scott Westerfeld (304)
Reread. Without question one of the best YA vampire books. Westerfeld is a superb author.

91. *Torchwood: Hidden by Steven Savile, read by Naoko Mori (2h16m)
Naoko Mori has a lovely voice, but the story didn't make much of an impression. I didn't write a review immediately after I listened to it and now I don't remember what it was even about.

92. Soul Music by Terry Pratchett (373)
This is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, Discworld book. I love Susan and Death of Rats is fabulous.
