The Crooked World is a BBC Books original novel written by Steve Lyons and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.[1] It features the Eighth Doctor, Fitz and Anji.
Plot
The Doctor accidentally brings the concept of reality to a world based on cartoon physics.
Continuity
- The concept of a person's belief affecting a creature also featured in Lyons's previous novel Salvation.
Outside references
- All the characters are parodies of popular cartoon characters, though none are mentioned by name.[1]
Reception
In Interzone, Matt Hills writes, "Lyon's tenth Who novel seems at first as if it is going to be a very long set of tiresome in-jokes and references. But it opens out into a sharply drawn meditation on social justice and individual guilt, as well as dealing with the cultural transmission of ideas."[2]
