Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michael Crichton's Best, Period
Review: This is Crichton's best work, period. I have read Jurrasic Park, Lost World, etc. But this book is the best. This book brings reality and unbelievability together in one fascinating plot. I couldn't put this book down. He caught my attention when the guy's head was cut off right when they arived back in England. What a wake up call! But this book rightly showed how hard it would have been to live in England in that time period and certainly how hard it would be for someone from the future who has no clue what it is really like. Crichton really did his research on this one. Whew!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Left me breathless!
Review: After seing several on the big screen, this is the first Crichton book I have read. History and technology come together and leave you flipping pages faster than you can catch your breath. The detail is brilliant. This book grabs you in the first few pages and flings you from the present to the past on an adventure that would be well worth reading again. I can't wait to sink my teeth into more of Crichton.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Insane Ride
Review: This book is another hit from Crichton! Moment after moment you find something else happening, and it's all intersting. Dealing with topics you likely don't have experience with, Crichton is able to control when you are told information. A great exame of a lot of time put into a book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Timeline:TB
Review: I liked the book because mainly it was very descriptive. Two other reasons I liked the book is it had a good storyline and it was about medieval times, a part in time I liked.

The best part of the book, I think, was the confrontation with the green knight by two main characters, Chris and Kate. The worst part of the book when the explanation of quantum physics was explained.

the most vivedly strong element in the book was when Marek, Kate, Chris, and two ex-marines were attacked by a group of knights right when they got there in the machines. It was very descriptive here and had quite a bit of action in it. Also a major part in the story happened at that point. The climax was when rebels attacked a castle with their army while the main characters were inside, also a big twist happened at this point as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved reading this book
Review: Whatever any of these people say, Timeline is a book worth reading for people who love history and the thought of travelling through history. In a time where faux pas can lead to death, most people would be dead today. Killed on someone's whim because who could be quiet enough or strong enough to deal with those absolute and/or arbitrary powers?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book while traveling through France, enduring the ridiculous behaviors of ... tourists.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's sad this book has an ending
Review: Michael Crichton have opened my eyes when it comes to reading books. Timeline is just fantastic, Time travle and a history class at the same time. I felt as a came closer to the end, kind of sad, I realy didn't want to put this book down. It's a book I'm going to read again, and again for a long time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Michael Crichton's Best in Years
Review: Michael Crichton has gone through a string of books that, for him, haven't been the best. His talents lie in developing stories surrounding a small group of characters isolated from their normal surroundings, and required to solve problems and/or survive in often quite harrowing situations. In Timeline, Mr. Chrichton finally returns to his roots. This is an extremely engaging story of a group of history students sent back in time to rescue their professor, who sends a cryptic message to them in an ancient dig site they are unearthing. The 'rich, greedy guy' (think John Hammond from Jurassic Park) who sponsors the group's adventure is a multi-billionaire who has developed a secret time travel lab, which is explained in terms that can almost be believed (using the concepts of alternate universes being discussed so much in scientific circles these days). The group is sent back to medieval France, where they are immediately engaged in a series of battles, jousts, and general political intrigue as two separate armies vye for control of ancient France, and ultimately the group themselves. Add to this mix a semi-crazy mercenary from modern times posing as a knight, and a deadline of 36 hours, after which return to the future is impossible, and you've got a perfect formula for a rollicking adventure.

An even mix of medieval culture and warfare, intrigue, suspense, and super science, this book is literally Michael Crichton's best book since Jurassic Park and Sphere.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Timely Review
Review: I think Michael Chichtons's Timeline is an excellent book and the way he mixes scientific theories with great plots, suspense and action makes it one of the best novels ever written.The story starts in the arid Arizona deserts when a vacationing couple come across an old man at the side of the road. There are no cars or houses for miles around. How did he get there? Then the leader of a digging expedition disappears and his collegues receive an urgent letter asking for help written by him, but its hundreds of years old. I definitely recommend this book to all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Science fiction adventure in the past, a must read novel!!!!
Review: Timeline is one of the outstanding science fiction novels ever written through out history. This book constantly made me go "I wonder what happens next." It is fun to read because this novel does not only concentrate on science stuff such as, time machine. Timeline also gives readers a massive amounts of adventure that will make the readers even scared. If you like science fiction and sword fighting, this is the book I would recommend. This novel also has some mysteries that will make readers go "hmmm.... who is the one that came from the present time on a time machine?"(You will have to read to know what I'm talking about, so read Timeline!!!) When you read this novel, you will feel like you are in a town in the past where there are no laws and only strength and power lets you survive. There are battles all around you and you will have many conflicts. Read this novel and let your imagination go wild!!! READ TIMELINE!!!
