Summary: Movie Script
Review: Written to be made into a movie very obviously. Twice the ridiculous escapes as even TITANIC had.

Summary: Good Read
Review: I really enjoyed this book. All of Crichton's books appeal to me because they blend the science and the story so well together. This one did not dissapoint, hopefully it wont be too long until we get a new book!

Summary: Nice Try - Maybe Next Time
Review: I didn't realize that I was disappointed with Michael Crichton's latest effort until I approached the end of the book. At that point, I could predict nearly every turn of the page. Like Lost World, the book has a strong entrance with wonderful scientific speculation that causes you to periodically put the book down and race to your encylopedia for a primer on quantum physics or medieval history. Unfortunately, the book tails off at the end and eventually thuds to an abrupt halt. Nonetheless, I will read and enjoy everything Mr. Crichton writes and reassure myself that better stuff is yet to come.

Summary: Made for the Movies...
Review: It has an interesting premise and seems well researched, but this novel was clearly intended as a screenplay. Fun, but perhaps we should wait for the movie.

Summary: Not his best but still....
Review: Look the truth is that it is just Jurassic Park with time travel but....so what. The fact of the matter is that this still is a good book. It is a little on the predictable side, i'll concede that but the vivid description of the time more than makes up for it. The only character I really got attached to was Marek. The others seemed to float in and out and seemed unimportant. One gripe I did have is that the charcters had more lives than a cat. As soon as you think one of them is finally dead, he/she pops back up again. None the less I could not put this book down. But wait for paperback.

Summary: I was very pleased with the ending (but I won't reveal it).
Review: This was the best book by Michael Crichton that I have read. And I think I have read them all. It was entertaining and informative and the story was easy to follow, yet complicated in just the right ways. The time-travel theory was fastenating to me and I found myself wondering if...And the ending could have gone in many different ways. Being one who gets really annoyed when an excellent book ends badly, I was truely satisfied and delighted with the way Mr. Crichton ended this one. I am already looking forward to his next book.

Summary: kept turning pages looking for better writing
Review: Was very disappointed in TimeLine....book needed editing, first 150 pages could have been cut by half and all the 'saids' removed to save a tree. Characters were flat and a reader couldn't really care about them; or feel the suspense. TV's Sliders was more thrilling!

Summary: Disappointing.
Review: Time travel has always fascinated me, that's why I jumped a t the chance to buy this book. Imagine a time travel by Micheal Crichton! . I found that his time travel method (this is fiction, of course) was plausible and well thought out. Also, his research on medieval matters was impressive. BUT the story in itself was weak and the characters neglected. Those should be the main attraction for the reader, and they were not. At least not for me. It was a very ambitious book by Crighton... maybe too ambitious for only 500 pages.

Summary: Good but historically flawed
Review: This book is great. I have a hard time putting it down and will probably finish it within 3 days. Unfortunately there are quite a few historical flaws in it making it a typical american view of medieval europe. I dont't think he could do any different however. A certain literary freedom was necessary to make some of the passages work.
