colorlessgreenideasI got these two audiobooks for my drive back from Georgia end of September. They killed about half of the trip.
#20: Doctor Who: The Stone Rose by Jacqueline Rayner Narrated by David Tennant
This book had the highest ratings on the book-rating websites I found. It was pretty good, if not stellar (stellar wasn't what I needed, anyway). The Doctor and Rose go back to the Roman Empire after finding a statue of her in the British Museum. There are some interesting twists, a pleasantly predictable resolution, and a touch of humor. A few parts were out of character, but most where spot-on, and David Tennant knocked the voices out of the park.
#21: Doctor Who: The Feast of the Drowned by Stephen ColeAlso narrated by David Tennant
Even if this book got lower marks on the websites I saw, I actually liked it better. There was more suspense and I really couldn't figure how they'd get out. Some aliens living in the oceans have taken over the bodies of drowned(?) people, and aim to take over even more. They take over Rose (surprise, surprise) but the Doctor doesn't save her - she saves everyone else, with some group help.
Really, I'd listen to David Tennant narrate most anything. It looks like he narrates a bunch of audiobooks related to How to Train Your Dragon. I'll have to get some of those if I ever drive the kids around.
