Summary

This ancient Time Lord manual has been kicking around the TARDIS for over 1200 years, giving the Doctor plenty of time to 'improve' it with scribbles, doodles and post-it notes as a gift for his successor, the Twelfth Doctor。 He's even ripped out the middle of the book and replaced it with a scrapbook packed with everything important to our hero, and how to be just like him! So if you have ever wondered if you'd cut it in the Time Lord Academy, how to fly the TARDIS, or the correct way to dip a fish finger into custard, this is the book for you!Essential reading for all aspiring Time Lords!

How about that Craig Donaghy? One feisty writer。

Priscilla

Since Doctor Who: How to Be a Time Lord - Official Guide might be the first of a series, I cannot wait to see the development of the leading characters。

I really enjoyed the plot and characters。

Fun little book。 Loads of illustrations。 A Christmas gift from my daughter。 There does seem to be some confusion on GR as to the target audience。 It is published by BBC Children’s Books, and is probably well-suited to an adolescent。 But I think it’s fun for any Whovian, especially since it’s written from the perspective of the 11th Doctor, who is a bit juvenile。 Also a bit endearing to me because I first became a Whovian during the run of the 11th Doctor。 In summary: just good fun, some trivia, Fun little book。 Loads of illustrations。 A Christmas gift from my daughter。 There does seem to be some confusion on GR as to the target audience。 It is published by BBC Children’s Books, and is probably well-suited to an adolescent。 But I think it’s fun for any Whovian, especially since it’s written from the perspective of the 11th Doctor, who is a bit juvenile。 Also a bit endearing to me because I first became a Whovian during the run of the 11th Doctor。 In summary: just good fun, some trivia, and tons of photos and art。 What’s not to enjoy? Anyone expecting an academic treatise on the rules of being a time lord will not find that here。 But then again, would the 11th Doctor ever write an academic treatise? 。。。more

This book was so much fun! My favourite pages are the ones about Running but I loved everything else too! And now。。。 Geronimo!

Finally capped off this cute collection of little factoids and nods to the characters and episodes of Doctor Who, set prior to Capaldi's portrayal of The Doctor。 °o° Finally capped off this cute collection of little factoids and nods to the characters and episodes of Doctor Who, set prior to Capaldi's portrayal of The Doctor。 °o° 。。。more

Guía oficial de Doctor Who, con muy buen contenido, pero no recomendado para nadie mayor de 15 años。

Fun gift for a fan。

Rhiannon

I enjoyed it a fun little guide to being a time lord loved the pictures and the cover is beautiful。

Jaime Pardos

Una guía juvenil muy divertida y con datos muy interesantes sobre los Time Lords de la serie Doctor Who。 Excelente regalo para un Whovian。

Daniel Kukwa

This is one of those ideal "Doctor Who" books for all ages -- it's clearly aimed at the junior set, but only adults will get all of the sweet, annoying, eye-rolling, and hilarious in-jokes。 Fans of all ages will also appreciate that all 50 years of the series are covered her with great conciseness。 It's a sweet & silly book。。。just like the Doctor himself is sweet and silly。 This is one of those ideal "Doctor Who" books for all ages -- it's clearly aimed at the junior set, but only adults will get all of the sweet, annoying, eye-rolling, and hilarious in-jokes。 Fans of all ages will also appreciate that all 50 years of the series are covered her with great conciseness。 It's a sweet & silly book。。。just like the Doctor himself is sweet and silly。 。。。more

It was a good book but it feels like the author relied on the show to much for their information and didn’t think of anything by themselves。 I enjoyed doing the little games in the book, it would be fun for children to do as well。

FernLovesBooks

All fans of Doctor Who should read this!

Jessie Radford

This book was rather adorable and I believe aimed at a younger audience either for young adults or juveniles。 The book provides some details with humorous additions from the 11th Doctor himself。 Definitely worth a look。

This was a quick, fun read perfect for any fan of Doctor Who。 It’s written like a history book on all things Gallifrey with the Eleventh Doctor’s handwritten notes over it。 It shows Eleven preparing himself for future regenerations by writing down everything about himself and what it is like to be a Time Lord。 It has many references and pictures from the show, and it is a really interesting book that reminds me of everything I love about Doctor Who。

Liked it but not what I was expecting。 For a much younger readership than I envisaged。 If I had been browsing in a book shop I may not have bought it, but I was browsing on line。 For all that it was amusing。

After reading some disappointed reviews and expecting a very small book aimed at young children, I was pleasantly surprised by this。 It’s obviously not a coffee table book, but has a decent size, it's a nicely designed hardcover, and all the pages (about 170) are fully coloured- and have that amazing new-book-smell。 The content provides a superficial overview of the Doctor-Universe, probably nothing new for diehard fans。 But for me, who just got into the whole thing with the 12th doctor, it’s ju After reading some disappointed reviews and expecting a very small book aimed at young children, I was pleasantly surprised by this。 It’s obviously not a coffee table book, but has a decent size, it's a nicely designed hardcover, and all the pages (about 170) are fully coloured- and have that amazing new-book-smell。 The content provides a superficial overview of the Doctor-Universe, probably nothing new for diehard fans。 But for me, who just got into the whole thing with the 12th doctor, it’s just fine as an introduction and makes me want to watch all the older series。 It’s not a long read, but I feel that’s obviously not the point of it, so I didn't mind。 。。。more

cool additions and comments by the doctor。 you only need one though: either the companions guide or how to be a timelord。 they are very similar and repetitive。 like the timelord more。 companion was too much focused on clara since she is writing it。

This Doctor Who children's book was a bit of a disappointment。 It's presented as a manual prepared by the Eleventh Doctor for his successor regeneration(s), but in practice is more of a mini-encyclopedia of various elements from across the show's history。 Supplemental material like this can often, well, supplement a show like Doctor Who, but this book is entirely made up of things already presented by the show itself and here just regurgitated and sporadically leavened by the Doctor's manic tone This Doctor Who children's book was a bit of a disappointment。 It's presented as a manual prepared by the Eleventh Doctor for his successor regeneration(s), but in practice is more of a mini-encyclopedia of various elements from across the show's history。 Supplemental material like this can often, well, supplement a show like Doctor Who, but this book is entirely made up of things already presented by the show itself and here just regurgitated and sporadically leavened by the Doctor's manic tone。 I'm sure some younger fans might still enjoy it, but there's really nothing in this book that you wouldn't learn just by watching the show。 。。。more

My best friend went to London。 Now, a normal person would buy a t-shirt or any other souvenir。 Her? She brought me this book。 I read this back in 2015, she gave it to me at the mall and I finished it on my way home。 It's super funny and adorable, even if I'm not a super huge fan of Eleven。 My best friend went to London。 Now, a normal person would buy a t-shirt or any other souvenir。 Her?

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I bought this book, but I was amused that it turned out to be a "textbook" about the Time Lords of Gallifrey, with notes and illustrations added in by the Doctor to clarify or disagree with the content。 It's very cute with nice illustrations and serves as a history of the Doctor as well as his companions and enemies。 I don't have children, but I think it would be a really nice book to give to younger Whovians who aren't ready for something like 'The Psycho- I'm not sure what I was expecting when I bought this book, but I was amused that it turned out to be a "textbook" about the Time Lords of Gallifrey, with notes and illustrations added in by the Doctor to clarify or disagree with the content。 It's very cute with nice illustrations and serves as a history of the Doctor as well as his companions and enemies。 I don't have children, but I think it would be a really nice book to give to younger Whovians who aren't ready for something like 'The Psycho-Social Implications of Surviving a Dalek Encounter' or whatever super-serious analysis of Doctor Who is published this year。 。。。more
