The Doctors Are In: The Essential and Unofficial Guide to Doctor Who's Greatest Time Lord - Softcover

“Burk and Smith?’s casual conversational tone, humor, and extensive knowledge of the subject give the reader a sense of the passion the two, along with millions of other fans, have for this beloved sf series. Although not an official BBC tie-in, the book nevertheless makes for an out-of-this-world read for both Classic and New Who fans.” ― Library Journal

“Easy to dip in and out of, but at the same time is so compelling that you won’t want to put it down until you’ve finished the final page. But most of all it’s fun, witty, and thoroughly charming. Just like the Doctor.” ― Doctor Who Magazine

“Two whole-hearted Whovians wrote The Doctors Are In ― an examination of each of the twelve Doctors (and a Warrior) to date. The writing is smooth and balances nicely between scholarly and chums chatting.” ― EclipseMagazine.com

“These two always find new points of interest on even the most well-worn paths. Of great interest to any Doctor Who fan, and entirely suitable for a beginner, too. That’s a neat trick, and this book pulls it off with aplomb. A refreshing willingness to look again and to look for themselves.” ― Paul Cornell, author of The Severed Streets and writer of the Doctor Who episodes “Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood”

“Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the world’s most famous time traveller from the two most qualified Whovian experts (on this planet, anyways). Burk and Smith? take you through each incarnation of the Doctor and dissect what makes him tick. Fascinating, fun, and fantastic.” ― Sam Maggs, author of The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy

“The Doctors Are In gave me new insight on a show I’ve been watching a long time. I devoured the chapters.” ― Comics Worth Reading

“If you’re open to hearing criticism about your favorite Doctors and episodes, and even mentally debating with the authors, give this a read.” ― Tessa’s Books and Tea Room

“The authors’ refusal to veer away from controversy and championing the golden moments that exist in even the worst of stories makes The Doctors Are In more interesting and compelling than other Doctor Who books that toe the line or play it safe.” ― Sci-fi Bulletin

“This is a fun book that is pure fan love. . . If you’re a fan (or even if you’re a newbie like me) this is a book you would really enjoy.” ― Smart Girls Read blog
