IN SUMMARY - Robert Smith?
Wonderland is an odd mix. It's got a second Doctor who's just plain wrong, but he's wrong in a way that is so different to the way authors usually get him wrong that you almost want to award points for effort. The plot is so flimsy the narrator ties it up with a "and then the Doctor did whatever he did to fix it while I was elsewhere" which is so brazen it's amost funny. And the continuity-as-symbolism is childish at best. But on the other hand, it's got a fabulously drawn setting, a wonderful character in Summer and some riffs on sixties idealism that are so devastatingly accurate that it hurts. By no means awful, but a few more drafts and this could have been outstanding.
