Griffiths has an excellent knack for engaging the reader with conversational prose that makes you feel as if you're sitting in the room with him, listening to his anecdotes, rather than reading it on the page... a smashing poem about Adric... The stories range from the introspective to the downright hilarious. Dalek I Loved You is simply fun and a pleasant excursion for anyone who knows what it's like to hide behind the sofa at the word 'Exterminate.' David Maddox, The SF Site www.sfsite.com

Reviews

... a genuine treat, not so much an opportunity to experience the author's fascinating life as it is an invitation to look back at your own ... With a warm and self-deprecating honesty Griffiths charms us through his formative years, all the while expressing his genuine love for this TV show ... Dalek I loved You is a gentle and delicious dip into the past. A piece of personal time travel that is well worth the trip - www.sfrevu.com

... a fascinating take. Surprisingly this work, though seemingly trivial, is maturely written and will probably be appreciated by future social historians. Of interest to the SF fan, it also successfully captures the sense of fun the genre evokes. Easy to read and very entertaining, this book is a delight ­ www.concatenation.org

DALEK I LOVED YOU

Gollancz, £12.99

Steven Poole - The Guardian

A funny and warm confessional, with the message of hope that you can be a functioning Doctor Who fan and still manage to find a partner and a life - and a renewed interest in toy Daleks - Waterstone's Books Quarterly

... an unadulterated nostalgia-fest written with fun, wit and love. I'm a number of years younger than Griffiths and of a different sex, but I've rarely read anything that so reflects my own opinions and feelings about the series and more besides. If friends, parents and partners don't quite comprehend a fan's love for the Doctor, this is the book that might help them get there - Doctor Who Magazine

... conjures up just how mind-blowing it was for an ordinary suburban kid to be transported to a realm of danger and rampant sci-fi imaginings ... frank and funny - James Lovegrove, Financial Times

... the book Nick Hornby would have written if he'd spent his life obsessing over Doctor Who rather than footie. Nostalgic and funny - The Mail on Sunday

Even if you're not a real Whovian, there's plenty to keep you entertained as it's packed with warm nostalgia, amusing anecdote, observational humour and embarrassing moments - Boys Toys, Book of the Month

More than just a tribute to a sci-fi icon, it is also a moving and charming memoir which brought the 1970s and 1980s flooding back to me - News Letter (Northern Ireland)

... much more than a tribute to a sci-fi icon, a moving, funny and charming memoir - Weekend Gold Coast Bulletin (Aus)

... he writes with such wit and warmth, and a strong line in observational humour - Marcus Berkmann, The Daily Mail

... it's nostalgic and funny and I liked it a lot. Loved it, even - Guyra Argus (Aus)

Popbitch's favourite new memoir - www.popbitch.com
