Dctor Who: apollo 23

This is the 1st book of the 11th Doctor's adventures that I read and it's quite fascinating. It's not the story which is the usual "the Doctor saving earth from yet another alien invasion", but the way the Doctor is portrayed.

I've already watched the whole 1st season of the 11th Doctor and although I enjoyed it due to good stories, the jury is still out re Matt Smith's portrayal of the Doctor. He is as jumpy as David Tenant's Doctor and speak as quickly as Tenant, but the Tenant's fire is missing. Smith's Doctor is kind of a faded copy of Tenant's Doctor. When Tenant's Doctor was angry, I wanted to be as far away from him as possible. Smith's Doctor doesn't have this effect.

In this book although it's supposed to be the 11th Dcotor adventure, the Doctor cones across as the 10th Doctor and not the 11th. The above mentioned fire is there, which makes me very happy :)
