lizbeeI'm on my iPad, and therefore fail at links, but it is TOTALLY OUT. I know, because I bought it from the Kindle store for $9.99 last night and READ THE WHOLE THING.
And it was GREAT. There was one essay I disagreed with mildly, and one whose premise I agreed with, but it was expressed in such a way that I found myself disagreeing just for the sake of it, and I might have to do a whole series of blog posts when I get home to work out my feelings. STAND BACK, I'M GONNA WATCH DOCTOR WHO.
The rest of the essays I liked, and a considerable number I really loved. This is an amazing ratio of win:fail in a book of this kind, because generally at least a third of a fan book would have me throwing it against the wall. Which isn't at all convenient when you're reading on an iPad, and someone really needs to create a therapeutic book-throwing app. BUT NOT FOR CHICKS UNRAVEL TIME. Because it is great! I can't wait to hear what people think about it!
Aaaaaaand I'll be talking about it at the Chicks Unravel Time panel at ChicagoTARDIS in a couple of weeks! I'm trying to come up with coherent things to say, but I might wind up having to express my love for the book, the editors, the other contributors and Doctor Who in general through the medium of interpretive dance. IT'S A VALID ARTISTIC CHOICE.
