beccaelizabethThis audio book was good because it took a simple premise and let it roll until ordinary world turned into horror world. The sort of thing Torchwood is for imho. The alien bit interacting with people until drama happens. It was also good because the ending could be simple too. Sure the story just stops when they won, but this time it makes sense that it would.
It was kind of an action movie through most of the middle, and the opportunity to learn more about Jack whooshed straight by without useful effect, even when the Thing of the story is people start telling all their secrets. If it was fanfic they'd do soooo much more with that bit, but, boring instead.
And the most disappointing bit was Tosh and Ianto got left at base to do a lot of nothing much. And have the correct idea to save the day with, but, not very appearing in this story.
I think Big Finish has spoiled me, I keep expecting character in these stories. Instead, action action action.
Still, did what it set out to do, and nicely read.
Have to say, so far not enjoying the audio book experience. Could be words on a page. Could be an audio adventure. But no, someone is reading me a story and I have to go at their speed all the way through. Not awesome at that.
