	BookkooB: Strange Boy - Paul Magrs
		Magrs is a writer with more to come, for sure, and it'll be interesting to see which story he chooses to tell next.
		Author Paul Magrs says in his introduction that his intention with Strange Boy was to write the kind of book he himself would have wanted to read as a teenager.
		The young hero is gay and Magrs' achievement is not to make this the story or even that strong a plot point but simply, effectively and truthfully an aspect of the character - as relevant as say his class, his gender, his age: one of the many things that colour his approach to the world.

		Paul wrote an afterword where he states Doctor Who should return to the simpler, fun adventuring it was on the telly and moving away from the angst heavy drama the New Adventures were famous for.
		Magrs' trademark wackiness and imagination are apparent in abundance and a lot of the concepts are enjoyably off the wall.
		Paul Magrs is a teacher of English so it is with great pleasure to note just how well written his books are.

	Mad Dogs and Englishmen (Doctor Who) (Paul Magrs)
		Paul Magrs' prose style is incredibly engaging; it's Terrance Dicks with a real sense of poetry.
		Paul Magrs has written a very broad comedy, with wonderful parodies of Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, and even George Lucas in a very over the top manner (he acts out his scenes by playing with his toys).
		Paul Magrs has written three other Dr. Who books, and each one has been infested (yes, that's the right word) with his character, Iris Wildthyme.

	Iris Wildthyme and Paul Magrs News and Reviews Page
		Wildthyme at Large by Paul Magrs is due in October and The Devil in Ms Wildthyme by Stephen Cole in November.
		Paul was interviewed in the Independent on Sunday on 12 September 2004.
		Luckily, the flame of wry, postmodern comedies about East Anglian lecturers is still burning brightly within Paul Magrs, though the geeky stuff he includes about red-eye sessions in internet chatrooms provides a clue that, as well as teaching on the UEA creative writing course, Magrs has a sideline producing plotlines for Dr Who.

		Paul McGann is excellent, really finding a foothold in the role now, especially as this was one of the first stories he recorded.
		Paul Magrs paints a rich narrative, flowing with large majestic speeches and eccentric characters.
		Paul always was wonderful at world building and he excels himself here, the production rising to the occasion and providing an evocative and seductive city of magic.

	The Scarlet Empress (Doctor Who series) (Paul Magrs)
		The reason why is simple; Magrs is so busy coming up with neat little ways to describe things that he forgot to include a coherent plot in the novel.
		The characters wander off in seperate directions and the reader is left with the shell-shocked feeling that the author is screaming about his cleverness into the reader's ear with a megaphone.
		Paul Magrs needs a co-writer to be effective; in _The Blue Angel_, various ideas are tossed at the reader all at once, only to be stitched into a coherent picture by the end.

	Verdigris (Doctor Who (BBC Paperback)) \| Paul Magrs \| It's not easy being green (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In many respects, Paul Magrs is the odd man out in the regular BBC Doctor Who authors.
		Magrs has been compared to the magic realism style of writing, and with good reason.
		Author Magrs manages to weave an intersting story, but where he fails is in his experimentation with plot devices that are simply not Doctor Who.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Review: Strange Boy by Paul Magrs
		David, the narrator, and his younger brother, Chris, are caught in the half-understood passions and resentments between their parents, who are separating.
		Paul Magrs is good at tensions and unhappiness and mixed-up families, good at scenes that almost erupt and then fade in stifled frustration, good at the uncontrollable and surprising nature of sexuality, and very good at the sense of being different without knowing why.
		One day Paul Magrs will write a very good book about children, but when he does it might not be a book for them.

		Jo Grant's portrayal is relatively shallow, but considering the basis that Magrs had to work with, that probably means he was again completely in keeping with what came before.
		I had enjoyed every other of Paul Magrs' Doctor Who books (SCARLET EMPRESS was a personal favorite, but MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN and THE BLUE ANGEL both have much to recommend), but this was his book that I appreciated the least.
		Magrs does a grand job of capturing the heart(s) of the Pertwee era.

	BookkooB: Doctor Who - Paul Magrs
		Paul Magrs is perhaps the only Doctor Who author who manages to match the wit and invention of the original series.
		She is such a wonderful creation and one can see why Paul Magrs is so fond of her and uses the character repeatedly.
		Magrs clearly delights in the camp side of Doctor Who (something I'm not averse to myself!).

	Mad Dogs and Englishmen - www.ezboard.com
		What I really like about it is that Paul Magrs knows his plot is ridiculous--and just runs with it anyway.
		Paul Magrs will never win any literary prizes, at least not for his Doctor Who fiction.
		My opinions of Paul Magrs' collected Dr Who works is inextricably linked to his creation, if you can dignify it with that term, Iris Wildthyme.

	Doctor Who by Paul Magrs, 0563405953, Lowest Book Price Finder
		Paul Magrs leaves behind the wobbly sets of the television series and luxuriates in the freedom of the novel form, interweaving seamlessly the comedy and humanity of his characters with the phantasmagoria of djiins and spirits they encounter.
		Paul Magrs resurrects his character of Iris Wildthyme (last seen in Short Trips' "Old Flames"), a Gallifreyan Miriam Margolyes.
		She is hopelessly in love with the Doctor and follows him through time in her TARDIS, an old red London bus which is smaller on the inside than the outside.

		This is particularly rewarding when the other authors involved are of the calibre of Paul Cornell, Paul Magrs et al.
		The anthology sees Iris visiting many times, places and literary genres, and in my story ‘Minions of the Moon’ she joins a diplomatic delegation from the court of Queen Elizabeth I to a utopian society of semi-angelic beings living on the Moon.
		Magrs later had the opportunity to introduce the character to her illustrious original in a number of Doctor Who novels and short story collections published by the BBC, as well as some of the Doctor Who audio dramas produced by Big Finish Productions.

	Mad Dogs And Englishmen Book Review: Doctor Who t-shirts and reviews from Androzani.com
		There's no doubt that Paul Magrs can write, and this book's ridiculously readable.
		The weakest parts of Blue Angel were the parody sections, and unfortunately Mad Dogs And Englishmen is virtually all parody.
		Magrs showed a breathtaking depth of imagination in The Scarlet Empress, but his invention seems sadly to be dwindling away into self-parody (literal self-parody, in some cases.

	The Scarlet Empress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Paul Magrs creates a gorgeous world that the Doctor and company explore, and he fills it with wonderful imagery.
		And while this could have been a fantastically dull story, in the hands of Paul Magrs and his writing style, it becomes gorgeous.
		There's a freshness about Magrs, a spontaneity, somewhat similar to that of Lawrence Miles, that takes you on a breathless ride through the world of Hyspero.

	The Richmond Review, Book Review, Marked for Life by Paul Magrs
		, Paul Magrs' first novel, is a Piss Christ of a book, belonging to the nouveau fin-de-siècle genre which does a take on the human condition via the excretory fluids.
		This clumsiness and lack of insight is, I think, a symptom of Magr's age, his M.A. in creative writing, and the fact that he's doing a PhD on Angela Carter.
		At 25, he is still a self-indulgent writer, shielded by Academe from the world of real readers - readers who will not tolerate the head-wank and clichés found throughout this book, nor forgive the inaccuracy of the characters, story and descriptive detail.
