A dreadful slog to me even though I found the concepts magnificent and many of the moments themselves rather engaging. But the prose and the connective tissue between these moments, as well as the rather uneventful use of Sarah and the Doctor (in my opinion) made this a forgettable experience. ( )

Great fun as Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith rush around a future landscape including reincarnations of Cardinal Richelieu, Casanova, Byron, another Byron, Mary Shelley, and various popes and poets. I think I just about understood what was going on, but it hardly matters. ( )
