Doctor Who: Pest Control

What a wonderful story! Peter Anghelides took on a great task in capturing the manic brilliance of the Doctor and the sarcastic demeanor and wit of Donna Noble and he has done a fantastic job! The story kept me intrigued from the start. The reading by David Tennant has by far has got to be one of the major highlights for me. He captured the voice of each character wonderfully. The music and sound effects only added to the drama. I hope to hear more stories like this in future Doctor Who novels.

This is a great adventure from the Doctor-Donna era. It is an entertaining story and true to form.

The Doctor is of course the well played by David Tennant.

As with the other books read by David Tennant, The Doctor is well played, but he also does Donna very well (Oi!).

When you are at war you had better know who your enemy is.

If you are a Doctor Who fan, waiting for the next instalment, this definitely scratches the itch.

Unlike the other Doctor Who audio books, this one has a soundtrack and sound effects which completely adds to the fun story line. The only thing missing is this story actually being made into an Doctor Who episode.

What can I say about my favorite Doctor narrating this tale? David Tennant has such great talent! He does various accents (The ones with American accents are the bad guys, hmmm) for each character, you can tell which is female, which male, which alien, etc. He reads with such excitement you can tell he is as much of a Doctor Who fan as we the listeners (and viewers) are. Makes you wonder why he is leaving the show?

Even if you've read the book, you've got to listen to this just to hear the excitement in David Tennant's narration, the soundtrack and the special effects.

Highly recommended!

I've listened to this story through twice. It was a bit confusing at first because there are a lot of characters and a number of actual or potential villains, and I don't always concentrate fully when I listen to audiobooks (i.e. my confusion was not the fault of the story or the narration). The first time I was a bit disappointed because the Doctor and Donna are separated for a lot of the story. But the second time I knew that was going to happen, so I really enjoyed their little bickering conversation at the beginning, and how they dealt with the separate and somewhat bewildering situations they each found themselves in. The story was quite interesting as it unfolded. I anticipated certain plot developments but others came as a surprise. I absolutely loved the Doctor's speech on what he will and won't bear. It is classic, pure Doctor.

Tennant does a brilliant array of accents, including American and Russian, and of course it's a delight to hear the Doctor's dialogue in the Doctor's own voice. There are excellent sound effects for certain of the creatures. Overall, really great!

Really enjoyed this book. David Tennant does a brilliant job as narrator in everything I've heard him do but his ability to capture Donna's 'voice' is awesome. I could totally see the whole story playing in my head as I listened to it.

I really love this story. It's cute and a little bit weird. Not as clever as the average Dr. Who script, but not terrible. David Tennant is one of the best audiobook readers I've ever heard. The way he swaps between accents is seamless, and his Donna Noble voice is spot-on, and hilarious. The reading is entertaining enough for the price. I don't usually use my credit on short audiobooks, but I've listened to this twice, and I really enjoyed it.

This is the first Doctor Who audiobook I've listened to with David Tennant narrating. He's really great, using his Scottish accent for the narrative parts to differentiate from the Doctor's dialog, and he does a very good job of Donna Noble's speech patterns, though he can't quite get her voice.

The story is fascinating, would have been a great TV episode, with a just-right mixture of narrative and action.

My first audiobook. I loved DT's performance; his characters were brilliant. I especially loved hearing him "do" Donna. A very good Doctor Who story.

I love Doctor Who, and I especially love David Tennant. He's an excellent narrator and the story was great!

Pest Control is classic Dr Who. The eccentric personality of the Dr comes through this novel with the hard talking Donna Noble by his side. Whoever comes up with this story lines have not limits to their imagination. The reading by David Tennant is second to none, hearing his real accent to break up the characters of the story. Well worth a listen for all Dr Who fans.
