When a naval cruiser sinks in mysterious circumstances in the North Sea, all aboard are lost. Rose is saddened to learn that the brother of her friend, Keisha, was among the dead. And yet he appears to them as a ghostly apparition, begging to be saved from the coming feast... the feast of the drowned. As the dead crew haunt loved ones all over London, the Doctor and Rose are drawn into a chilling mystery. What sank the ship, and why? When the cruiser's wreckage was towed up the Thames, what sinister force came with it? The river's dark waters are hiding an even darker secret, as preparations for the feast near their conclusion.

Feast of the Drowned read by Tennant Rocks!

Would you consider the audio edition of Doctor Who to be better than the print version?

Yes, hearing David Tennant wonderful reading of an abridged form of the book is just wonderful, mostly because he is so talented. He makes you believe it's Rose speaking when he is doing her voice. He makes you feel something for what I can only call the monster of the stories. He brings a kind of human quality to them so that you at least see so of the POV. He tells a wonderful tell that I would of loved to have seen filmed with Rose and the Doctor.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Doctor Who?

When Rose ends up in the river Thames soon followed by the Doctor trying to save the world once again and them trying to grab on to the crates or trunks or whatever those things are that are floating in the river. And flight off the bad guys who have them cornered. And the doctor poof (It would be a spoiler if I told you how he saves the day) saves the days. The dead die and the living live on.

Which character – as performed by David Tennant – was your favorite?

Rose- I have always had a weakness for Rose, the Doctor is 950 years old or more, he has been there done that many times, but Rose is just excited about being alive. She is always the heart of the show and the caring one, And can get the doctor in the worst trouble ever. Plus Rose can kick butt when she has too, she doesn't just sit there and wine she gets up and starts moving.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Parts of freaked me out, the idea of drowning is not a pleasant one but have things controlling my brain while I do it is worse. So there was a definite gross out factor with this story.

Any additional comments?

It is an awesome including the gross out factor parts. And David Tennett does his very best acting reading this story.

Anything narrated by David Tennant is stellar

What does David Tennant bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He IS the Doctor. :) I enjoyed his switching accents from his Scottish to his Doctor's British accent.

Any additional comments?

I've listened to two Stephen Cole 10th Doctor stories, this one and the Art of Destruction. The Art of Destruction was better, but this one is still excellent. He has a wonderful way of keeping the characters consistent with their mannerisms in the show, so of all the Doctor Who books I've listened to, his are the best/most like the show.

The characters really came through

What did you love best about Doctor Who?

I can't say enough about David Tennant's performance. the Story was good. This one is set in modern times and involves Mickey. It's wonderful to spend more time with characters I love even after they have left the show.

A haunting tale well read

I love how David Tennant gives the characters different voices, and reads at a reasonable pace. The tale itself has the feel of a ghost sea story and was creepy at times, which I loved and could really get into. Fans of the show or of Tennant will enjoy this one!

Another great story!

The story is exciting to hear as David Tennant does a great job with the voices. The story and characters are in keeping with the TV show. The writer did a great job considering that he didn't have much screened work to go by.

neat story. read well.

loved how Mr. Tennant brought out all the voices. His micky is spot on.

I <3<3 Doctor Who!

Any additional comments?

If you are like me, you'll enjoy this. All the classic DW aspects we've come to love, and the storyline with the "tenth" Doctor makes you want to rush home and have a marathon. Allonsy!

David Tennant is my Doctor

This audiobook is amazing. I love the show and am now falling in love with the books. This is the first book I have read or heard, I guess. I really like that David Tennant, or the Tenth Doctor, read this one. He brings such great inflection to the different characters. I really injoy the fact that when he reads the Doctor he uses his "Doctor Voice" as I call it and when he narrates he slips back to his Scottish roots. I recommend this to any and all Doctor Who Fans its Brilliant!!!

Brilliant!

David Tennant at his best; lots of voices for him to do. This is a great story, and DT knows how to bring it to life.

Not My Favorite Whovian Book!

David Tennant is astounding! Unfortunately, he's been given sub-par material to work with. The story is a bit weak and the characters (aside from The Doctor, Rose & Mickey), are very 2 dimensional. Lastly, the plot was predictable & lack-luster.
