In my opinion (for which I received a copy from Library Thing's Early Reviewers) the best essays were "Life Post-TARDIS? The Case for Jo Grant and Sarah Jane Smith" by Sherry Ginn and "A Muted Melody: The (Dis)Empowerment of River Song" by Tom Powers. Both were well-written, enjoyable reads and thoroughly annotated.

I would have enjoyed a book more focused on exploring each companion. I really would have enjoyed essays specifically about Tegan and Donna, in addition to what we got of Sarah Jane, Jo, and River.
