Talking ’bout my Big (Bang) Generation: A Review of Doctor Who: Big Bang Generation
I am a fan of Doctor Who, and Peter Capaldi’s version of the Time Lord is as stunning in the book series as he is on the television screen. So, when offered, I jumped at the chance to read this, thank you to Broadway Books for offering me a copy of the book in exchange for…
