Plot

The Doctor accidentally brings the concept of reality to a world based on cartoon physics.

Continuity

  • The concept of a person's belief affecting a creature also featured in Lyons's previous novel Salvation.

Outside references

  • All the characters are parodies of popular cartoon characters, though none are mentioned by name.[1]

Reception

In Interzone, Matt Hills writes, "Lyon's tenth Who novel seems at first as if it is going to be a very long set of tiresome in-jokes and references. But it opens out into a sharply drawn meditation on social justice and individual guilt, as well as dealing with the cultural transmission of ideas."[2]
