Book Reviews of The Torchwood Archives
Book Review: a perfect companion to Series 1 & 2 of Torchwood
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is much,much more than an episode guide with pretty pictures. The layout of the book is in a format of a top secret manual, and even the insides of the book maintain that. Each episode-specific guide is labeled 'Ongoing Archive Notes', and each has a section on Alien Activity, Alien Technology, Rift Activity, Security, Staff, and Other Staff Issues. The last section often has hilarius commentary like this for example: "Now that we have all tried, it is clear that only Ianto knowns how to operate that damn coffee maker. I suspect it contains alien technology".
Throughout the book you'll see cool things like clips of 'real' newspapers with headlines like "Alien Skeleton Snapped UP by Millionaire Parker', reports by Torchwood staff, and memos between characters. As a Martha fan I really liked the one on page 133.
Overall, if you're a Torchwood fan, then definitely get this book.
