It's not a retelling of the book. It's shameless copying of the book. I've reminded the "author" of that in a few reviews.

As far as I can tell, from what I read of it, it's a retelling of the Torchwood book 'The Twilight Streets', but with two Sues inserted. The first proper chapter is a retelling of the start of that book, with said Sues in Jack's place.
Red Eyes
Kyouya Nakamura is a highschool student in Cardiff. Sounds simple enough, but it turns out that Kyouya has a dark secret. Who is he? And what happens when a man named Jack Harkness appears at his school? Jack/OC Warning: Rated M for later chapters. YAOI!
Jack Stu, first person, Jack is a teenager in a 21st century Cardiff high school and apparently there is only one emo in all of Cardiff.

Can't really comment too much on the second one, not having read the book it's based on. It looks pretty bad, though, in terms of Sueishness (of course they have magical mind-reading powers...and mysterious visions...*bangs head against wall a few times*) And it looks to have serious timeline issues with regards to their ages. (This is the problem with usurping an immortal character's place in a story that spans sixty years :P).
As for the first one, though...words fail me. KILL!
