Trivia fans used to wait anxiously for annual almanacs, which contained all manner of information useless to most of the world but fascinating to us. Now that we have the Internet, there's no such anxiously awaited occasion at the end of the year, but Doctor Who: Who-ology is a rich source of Doctor Who trivia.
Since the 50th Anniversary episode in November promises to reference all the Doctors and many episodes, this is a great review book for anyone who wants to ensure s/he gets every shout-out.
The book doesn't quite include all fifty years--the second half of Season Seven, aired in 2013, is not included--but there's enough to keep any Doctor Who fan enthralled, with a fifty-year timeline of significant events, lists of minor characters and charts of episodes and companions.
By Just ask me!
VINE VOICE
I'll confess up-front that the three-star review is a reflection of the book not meeting my expectations, rather than something terrible about the book itself.
The book is smaller than expected - about the size of a paperback novel - rather than the coffee-table sized book I expected. (I should have checked the dimensions before I ordered it!) And the paper is mass-market paperback quality, not glossy. And, there are no photographs reproduced in the book, only a few drawings by way of illustration. Lastly, a large part of the content truly is miscellany - lots of odds-and-ends, of varying degrees of interest.
Having said all that, it is fun to read - if you dip into it occasionally. (I keep my copy in the bathroom!)
Do not buy this book as a single 50th Anniversary souvenir. But, if you read this review and the book still sounds okay to you, you will probably love it - for what it is.
