Torchwood: Nearly Perfect

[melworks]

I picked up this book on a whim the other day and have been pleasantly surprised by it. Normally, I avoid those hardbound BBC books because, really, who wants to pay $12 for what amounts to a paperback? But then I sat down with this one in the store and it was kind of funny in an offbeat sort of way and the next thing I know I'm three chapters in and have decided to buy it.
Nearly Perfect is set after the end of Season Two, so the team consists of only Capt. Jack, Ianto and Gwen.
The premise of the book can be summed up in one sentence: Ianto Jones wakes up one morning as a woman and Torchwood has to figure out what the hell happened.
Now, doesn't that get you interested?
Best bit in the book?
Ianto: "Honestly, I don't know what happened. I woke up and except for a disturbing lack of cock I felt fine!"
Capt. Jack: "And haven't we all felt like that one time or another."

o.O

I've been picking up the Torchwood books, but it sounds like I REALLY need this one.

Also glad the Wild Cards was good. I've been buying them all along, but am a couple behind on reading. So little time....

I'm fighting the urge to go buy the second season of Torchwood, just for the line in the first ep: "Excuse me, have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car?"

The last two Wildcard books have been a hoot. 'Specially since the writers are working in characters they thought were too silly or wierd for the first books. I'm specifically talking about the Holy Roller.

And there's always time for a good book. :)
