die Story spielt nach der 2. Staffel, also mit dem abgespeckten Team.
Ianto wacht eines Morgens als perfekte Frau auf, Torchwood findet das Skelett eines Mannes, der eigentlich noch lebt und eine frustrierte junge Frau, hat plötzlich die Macht alle nach ihrer Pfeife tanzen zu lassen - Business as usual für Torchwood.
Der Autor spielt gekonnt mit verschien#denen Blickwinkeln und Selsbironie,was dieses Buch unterhaltsamer wirken lässt als die meisten anderern Torchwood-Bücher

Ianto awakes as a breathtakingly beautiful woman and without memories of the night before. Emma gets more and more beautiful and life finally starts to go her way - perhaps even a bit too much. A ferry has a mysterious accident. A number of dressed skeletons appear in bars around Cardiff and there seems to be a lot of superfluous energy in the air. And people are sleeping very badly. Only in a gay club everything seems to go perfectly well.
All of this is linked together and the reduced crew of Torchwood has a lot to do - even with Rhys Williams' help - to find the solution for this, before it is - once more - too late.
Interestingly and amusingly written we find here a story that shows again a few new aspects of Cpt. Jack and how strong the relationship between Rhys and Gwen really is. And Ianto's work to function as a woman is also quite entertaining without being condensing. In this, the alien threat almost - but not quite - becomes a side-show.
All in all - good entertainment and a good laugh.

Interesting plot, good read!
30. Dezember 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book, to put it bluntly, is gayer than Christmas. I found this delightful, of course, but lesser fans (of the not so horrible fangirl variety as myself) might find themselves dizzy after being repeatedly bludgeoned by James Goss' not so secret gay agenda. (Protip: When the terrible alien plot involves marching in the Pride Parade, you do need to stop and ask yourself just how very much your suspension of disbelief can stretch. Mine, where Torchwood is involved, stretches to encompass the whole South Canada Sea, so I laughed, shrugged, and carried on.)
All in all, this book is an excellent read. It's on par with The Twilight Streets, from the fantastic Gary Russell, in terms of characterization and plot. James Goss uses internet networking sites - Facebook, namely - as plot device and brings the ever-popular fandom's 'Five Times' fanfiction to life in print. It's obvious from the way the book reads that James Goss is a fan of Torchwood, which makes the book all the better, written by a fan for the fans.
One supposes that a review also has to touch on the fact that Ianto Jones spends the entirety of the book, save for a chapter-long flashback scene, with (as the character puts it) "a surprising lack of cock." Goss uses this plot device - the old science fiction stand-by of a supposed body swap, taking a male character out of his element by changing his sex - with expert grace. From Ianto's perspective, one can really imagine what it's like for a man who spontaneously wakes up as a woman, complete with hormonal changes and the scary prospect of being stuck. The author explores this strange situation in typical Torchwood fashion, without lingering on the strange and unusual, but also giving the character an edge of humanity as he deals with it.
That said, I'd definitely recommend this book to fellow Torchwood fans. It's an accurate representation of the characters as portrayed on television, a wonderful companion novel, and great read. James Goss shines brilliant and does the show great justice. :)

Fun Read

"...Ianto Jones woke up this morning in the body of a woman...." It works for him. Finding the right dress and matching shoes is horrible, especially when it's your first time. Ianto has to do that and more. This character is far and more engaging than he ever was as a man. I would love to see role made a regular and expanded.
The other central character is Emma. She is lonely, bored, and insecure. However, she's met the perfect person? Then, to her great disappointment, she finds that first flaw. Unlike the rest of the world, she can change it and make him perfect again -- almost.
The chapter arrangement is a bit unusual. It is more like an adaptation of a script than a book. However, I found it refreshing. It gave the book a quick pace and fun twists. The book is carried along by the events rather than character change, so be forewarned.
I read the book in day so I guess you could say that I enjoyed it. I hope more books of this sort come out.

The Almost Perfect Torchwood Novel
30. März 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I want to marry this book. It's not only a good read in and of itself, but it's fun and quirky just like the show itself. A lot of tie-in novels for TV shows and movies, while they might be well-written, don't seem to capture the spirit of the source material or of the fanbase, but Almost Perfect does both. I get the feeling that James Goss is actually a fan of Torchwood, and I love that he seemed to have so much fun writing this book. This is the first tie-in book I've contemplated buying two copies of - one to keep and one as a loaner for friends. I hope to see more TW novels from Goss.
