First, a compliment: This is likely the only book about Doctor Who out there that thoroughly considers the implications of DW through the lens of Cultural Theory, Foucault, Derrida, and their progeny. In other words, this packs more theoretical punch than most introductory college texts. However insightful and scholarly written and considered, I found Mills style to be irritatingly elitist by his heavy reliance on what I can only term “cultural theory-speak.” That is, nearly every idea of his is qualified by quotation marks – i.e. “high culture”, “cultured up”, “mutually exclusive”, etc. All of which makes him sound both pretentious and hesitant to commit to any of his ideas. (Yes, one can argue that he is simply following in a theoretical approach that is self-aware of signifying language. But honestly, it’s downright irritating to read. Ditch the quotation marks, I say, and stand for what you believe in.) One of the more interesting (and least irritatingly written) ideas that he considers is the precise genre in which DW fits. Whether time-travelling to the historical past or a wholly imagined, projected future, new Who would thus appear to be consistently coded as science-fictional…[Yet] new Who has added ‘pseudo-futurological stories to its ‘pseudo-historicals’; one recurrent fan complaint has been that depictions of a the future in the series have not been ‘proper’ science-fictional extrapolations from contemporary society. Instead, the far-futures represented have frequently been satirical, metaphorical versions of the present-day. Serious analysis aside, Hills does have a sense of humor – albeit subtle. If you read the following carefully, you’ll know exactly what I mean (which also includes the annoying, cloying cultural theory-speak): Resembling author-functions and generic functions, what I have termed the ‘text-function’ acts as an attempted discursive fixing of textual classifications, seeking to police and box-in specific textual identities…blah, blah, blah [my words]… Despite the ridiculousness of that passage as a whole, that little TARDIS joke was pretty darn clever, if I do say so myself. If you want to get into ideas behind DW, I would honestly tell you to skip Hills’ overwrought treatise, and pick up instead Russell T. Davies’ A Writer’s Tale. Not only is the latter more thrilling to read, but you were certainly get more bang for your buck (or pound, as the case may be), as it’s over twice the number of pages for almost the same price.

Originally posted on At Home Between the Pages The number one thing I loved about this book was the way it was written from two different points of view: Amy’s and Elder’s. They each had their own distinct voice and I rarely caught myself having to flip back to figure out whose head I was in. As characters, Amy and Elder were both awesome. I found myself quickly feeling sympathy for them and their situations. Especially poor Amy. I just wish she would have looked on the bright side of things some of the time. The story was interesting, exciting, and kept me reading. I wanted to uncover more secrets about Godspeed. Actually, I really just wanted to learn more about Godspeed period, be it the secrets or how it has been operating as a community for a few centuries. I loved how the promise of new land was just beyond the horizon. But then there were the murders. Amy wanted so much to find the killer that she was almost too serious for me. However, the mystery and suspense of the novel made it pretty appropriate. The secondary characters were also really well written. Harley was my favourite, and I’m sure he’s loved by many other ACROSS THE UNIVERSE readers. I wish we’d had more of him. Doc and Eldest were both very interesting characters. Doc always seemed very conflicted, especially about following orders. Eldest was… well Eldest was a handful! He was menacing and confusing, but was really only looking for what was best for his people. I didn’t like him overall, but I kind if understand where he was coming from. ACROSS THE UNIVERSE is a magical science fiction novel that explores not only the promise of new life on a new planet, but also the intricacies of running a small city within a metal box. It looks mostly at the politics of life and what leaders have a right to do for, and to, their people. Mix that with mystery, suspense, and some romance, and you get a great novel that is hard to put down.
