Last week, I talked about what the worst thing about Doctor Who: Scales of Injustice by Gary Russell was. This week, although I am still not really enjoying the book, I am going to try and look at it from a positive light and decide what the best thing about the book is. And I think I might have figured it out.
I believe that the best thing about this book is also one of the worst things about it. The plot, or lack there of. In my last post, I explained why it is one of the worst things about this book. Now for why it is also the best part. It is the best part of the book because in the beggining of the book, the various scenes feel haphazard and random. They don't really fit together, and are very confusing. But this is a good thing. This means that, later on in the book, there will be a moment when everything comes together in a moment of beautiful harmony, when the reader finally understands what everything means, when all the confusion and haphazardness clears and you see what has been going on. It is one of the best moments that you can experience as a reader and indeed as an intelligent human being. I imagine it might be rather like understanding the universe in one incredible second. THIS. This is the best part, the reason I have not yet given up on this book. I am awaiting the moment when I get to experience this feeling of ultimate existance. I hope you get to experience it some day too.
