Really enjoyable (and quick) listen. The Doctor, Amy, and Rory fall through cracks in time when they attempt to visit the Paradox Art Gallery. Narrated by the character Penelope, this story follows this young and budding painter who is assigned to watch over the Gallery's most impressive display: the huge paradox in the sky under which the art museum was built. But it basically amounts to her having to sit in the room and stare at the blank walls; because anyone who looks too long at the paradox goes mad: she is just supposed to sit there and stop anyone who tries to look for too long. But Penelope begins to hear voices in the chamber...and then the Doctor shows up and so does a glowing crystal spectre of death.

This was a fun story and while there isn't much of the Doctor or Amy or Rory there it was still a complete plot with only a few minor holes. The reader was good though she didn't have the range of some audiobook readers (she didn't have a good "Doctor" voice or anything but it was a good performance nonetheless.) Definitely one worth reading/hearing.

What I loved most about the story, aside from the fact that it was a well done non-Doctor, non-companion POV, was that we got a protagonist who was also the antagonist. Not only did we get that, it showed wonderfully how people have it in them to be very selfish and destructive at the same time that they have it in them to be selfless and heroic.

I admit, I'm also a sucker for a Doctor Who story where he isn't the one who saves the day.

Not bad reading, though a few of the voices seemed off, imitating a variety of actors has to be tough.
An impossible art gallery, the Doctor and his companions unmoored in time, and one woman caught in the middle. For the most part, the story focuses on the art gallery worker, but it's a good one, appropriately complex and fraught. And surprisingly happy in places.

Really liked the narrator and the story kept me interested.

I throughly enjoyed this book. The writer had the doctor's character down to a T. Amazing writing. Amazing story and a few twists that made it a episode worthy doctor who story.

http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1888281.html[return][return]another winner, with the excellent Raquel Cassidy (who played Matt Smith's boss in Party Animals and the leader of both the Gangers and their human antagonists in The Rebel Flesh / The Almost People) telling the story in first person: she is art gallery custodian Penelope, showing off the indescribable Paradox to the masses, and developing a peculiar relationship both with it and with the three strange travellers who turn up at different times. I felt it borrowed a bit from Dan Simmons' Hyperion but perhaps did it better. Strongly recommended.

WOW this audio special was AWESOME absolutely loved it! I only wish this story had been made into an episode because it is sooooo good!

This story is particularly timey wimey and the narration reminds me of "BLINK" in the sense that the Doctor is more of a supporting character and events are not linear.

Wonderfully written! The characterization of Eleven, Amy, and Rory is spot on and you absolutely fall in love with the main character/narrator.

Spectacular! A must for any lover of time travel!
