"Doctor Who" The Hounds of Artemis Audio Original James Goss 9781408427460 Books

A two rare two handed BBC audiobook where Matt Smith and Clare Corbett read the book with Ms. Corbett reading from Amy Pond's general. The story has the Doctor and Amy arriving to uncover the purported tomb of Artemis with an expedition that's been plagued by disappearances.

This is a very good story of the haunted archaeological dig story but done superbly well There's a great deal of atmosphere and suspense throughout, leading to the opening of the tomb and some very creepy moments. There's also a few bits of humor, though nothing over the top that would undermine the horror element of the story.

The two reader format works well most of the time and overall adds to the story despite a few awkward moments. Overall, this is one of the better 11th Doctor Audiobooks.

Matt smith reads as though he were there in person as the Doctor. As always his magical touch infuses the Story with the sound of his voice. The 11th Doctor regenerates himself albeit in voice only. Fantastic story and Superbly read! Thank you Matt Smith!
I liked this book all right. It has its moments,good and bad. Claire Corbett does a horrendous job voicing the Doctor and Amy, but it is not the worst I've heard. The story is fast paced but interesting. The Doctor does his usual "I know more than I'm letting on" and Amy writes in a diary (which is odd because she has never done before).
It is not my favorite Goss work, I have read better, so don't let this particular story turn you off to his other books.
James Goss is an interesting author in that his style of writing is different from other Doctor Who authors whose books I have read. He often shows a character's views through recorded methods. Take for example the audio book he wrote for David Tennant's Doctor called "Dead Air". The Doctor is telling his story through an old record disk that had been found at the bottom of the sea. In another book "Dead of Winter" a little girl, a doctor, and another man write about the events that take place after a red-haired woman, her husband and her doctor arrives at a clinic.
His style gives a different, but not unwelcome, feel to the world of Doctor Who.
I was really looking forward to reading this one due to the name (you'd think I'd learn by now not to be lured in by a book's name alone). 'The Hounds of Artemis'. There's a bit of Sherlock-esque to it with the hounds and Geek mythology to it with Artemis. Artemis was always my favorite goddess growing up. So I was hooked. And I got put one over on. Again.

This book is read by Matt Smith (who plays the 11th Doctor) and Clare Corbett (who hasn't done anything in the TV show Doctor Who but apparently has voiced two minor characters in a 4th Doctor audio story). One supposes that Karen Gillian (who plays Amy Pond) was unavailable to voice her own character. Corbett however was utterly horrendous as voicing Pond and the Doctor. The Doctor sounds like an elderly man and Amy sounds ditzy without a trace of a Scottish accent. It was very hard to listen to with her messing up the distinct voices, especially when most of the book is narrated by her.

Goss has always been hit or miss for me, usually a miss it seems. This was another miss. This book's writing was bad. Amy is more concerned about putting on make-up and writing in her diary (since when does Amy write in a diary). The Doctor seems to be chilling out in the background in this adventure and is just content to do some archeology and let Amy do all the hard work (and when has that happened). It wasn't in-character and realistic for Doctor Who. There's also a 3rd person besides the Doctor and Amy narrating this book, the daughter (or granddaughter I forget now) of one of the archeologists in this adventure who is reading Amy's diary. The plot once you get into it isn't hard to understand and is predictable.

I can see now why this audio book was given away free in the magazine 'The Guardian' in 2011.

I suppose I would recommend this to Doctor Who fans (I mean who else really) but be warned if you are reading this just to hear Matt, he doesn't narrate that often.
