The Doctor Trap failed to deliver on its promise. Action is in the background. The author failed to explore the Doctor's character and rushed and muddled the plot.
A failed attempt at developing a complex and intriguing case of “mistaken identity with a twist.” Its length prevents it from providing the details needed to solve the mystery. One of the biggest flaws in the whole story is the key element which makes up a “fake” Doctor. Sebastiene brought in this “fake” Doctor to hunt him down as a “dangerous species” on his own planet as part of his plan to hunt the Doctor down.
Sebastiene and the impostor are not serious threats because their plans lack reasoning, and they are egotistical. It was also very frustrating to see Donna; instead of being assertive and compassionate, she was mis-characterized as selfish and whiny.
Throughout the book, Donna is absent from the story. The Doctor and his companion were separate, but Donna was nowhere to be found. The book was too reliant on outside characters and the middle part was boring. Despite her role being reduced to a minor one, Donna’s absence left an unsettled feeling. The book lacked her distinctive perspective and energy. Something was missing.
I'd recommend it solely if you've finished reading every Who book.
