About this ebook

‘Hello, sweetie!’

Melody Pond, Melody Malone, River Song...She has had many names. Whoever she really is, this archaeologist and time traveller has had more adventures (and got into more trouble) than most people in the universe.

And she’s written a lot of it down. Well, when you’re married to a Time Lord (or possibly not), you have to keep track of what you did and when. Especially as it may not actually have happened to both of you yet.

These are just a few of River Song’s exploits, extracted from her journals. Sometimes, she is with the Doctor. Sometimes she’s on her own. But wherever and whenever she may be, she is never far from danger and excitement.

This is just a tiny portion of her impossible life. But it will reveal more than you’ve ever known about the legend that is River Song.

Ratings and reviews

Not impressed by the 8 page sample and at $15.00 AUD its very expensive for a book that's only 120 pages. It seems the BBC/authors are really desperate to cash in on the brand name. The authors also make River waay to needy, snarky and not very likeable.

A mixed bag, some catching the flavor of River Song better than others. Still, if you want something beyond The Angels Take Manhattan, this will fill the bill.

Well written ... could "hear"River narrating while reading this book. Good, adventurous stories
