Timeline - Large Print

Summary: Overall a fun read
Review: This was a very easy read for me, after reading Great Expectations and Les Miserbles I needed something easy and extremely entertaining, this fit the bill perfectly. There is no thinking involved in this novel and like other reviewers have said it seems there was never any suspence you always felt like the charecters were always going to get out in the nick of time, Overall a fun read

Summary: My Favorite Book
Review: Timeline is my favorite book. I bought it, read it and loved it. Then I gave it to my mother who loved it, she gave it too my father who loved it, he gave it to my sister who loved it and sent it on to a friend of hers. I like to imagine that it's still being passed along. I bought a second copy and lent it to my best friend, who lent it to his sister, who lent it to her other sister who lent it to a friend and so on. I'm pretty sure I'll never see it again. A great sci-fi journey.

Summary: War and Peace? No. Fun read? Sure.
Review: Timeline is never going to go down as a classic of modern fiction, but it is everything you would want it to be, a fun, fast-moving read with enough interesting scientific concepts that verge on plausability to suspend your disbelief for long enough for you to enjoy the story.

I haven't read much Crichton and have heard from the faithful that a lot of his other stuff is better, but this one kept me from getting to other things that I should have been doing and that's always a good sign.
