Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Five Star
Review: I was never much into fiction--let alone science-fiction! But, the historical aspect of this one is what lured me to it. (Plus, I enjoyed a few of Crichton's movies and heard good things about his books.) This is my first audio-book, and I know it won't be my last one! I listened to it in the car on the way back & forth to college & I must say, I was late to class a few times because I didn't want to turn it off! This one is definitely worth your time (and $).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent but there's an odd explanation
Review: Thank's to Mr Crichton who had taught us with the new enlightment in understanding quantum world. It's very promised field that will be happened sooner or later. It just the matter of time for people to make a kind of real 3D fax machine or quantum teletransportation. But there's an odd in Timeline that I may not agree with the way Mr. Crichton tell us about time-paradox possibilities. It has to be a better explanation than Doniger's argument to Stern. This stuff really confusing me after I had finished that incredible story. Most of all, I'm eager to watch the movie about this novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lovin it
Review: This book is the best Michael Crichton book ever written. Of course I've read them all, and I'd say he gets better over the years. My old favorite was Disclosure, then Airframe, then Timeline. Quantam mechanics is one of my favorite studies, and is mentioned in the book. The ending is very exciting and the epilogue is the best ending for Crichton ever. I loved it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Worth reading for some of the parts
Review: Timeline is a fun book to read. Like most of his books Crichton teaches the reader something about science...this book is no exception. And while this isn't as good as some of his previous works...it is well worth reading

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Have you read a good movie lately?
Review: I just read a movie - lots of action, a varied group of characters, exciting settings. I could visualize the "clean room" laboratories of the scientists and the dusty castles of the middle ages all in living color on the big screen with a full orchestral soundtrack stirring the adrenaline with each page - or is it each scene? I've loved Crichton since I devoured Andromeda Strain in one sitting many years ago. But, he's gotten a little too slick. I should have waited for the movie. Oh well, some director will surely outdo my imagination.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Interesting read; intriguing idea
Review: Crichton's time travel thriller is an interesting exciting read. A team of scientists is trapped in the Middle Ages, and must extricate themselves from a sticky situation using only their wits.

While the time travel theory is interesting, the characters are a bit thin, as is sometimes the case with Crichton novels. Still, the detail on the Middle Ages is excellent, and you really get a feel for living in the time period.

Recommended for Cricthon fans, and those seeking a different kind of time travel story.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: ceci n'est pas un livre de Boulez
Review: Cette livre est un chose que je comprends comme un faux-ideologue ceci un grand horse a bout. Il n'y a pas de carrotes, mais pourquoi a Chrichton n'est-ce pas voulez les reassignements blu? Et pourquoi faire-il la premiere fois a gauche pour favour dans la salle a manger, exceptez pas de creme broulez pour savoir les Elians chaud? Apres de finir cette livre j'ais manager mes mains et telephonez tout ma famille pour vous a ca, "Combien des angels que dancer sur la head d'un pin?" Elles n'a savoir pas que de dit.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This new book can't match up to Crichton's others
Review: The concept was good, original, but just wasn't as good as some of Crichton's past books. Unfortunately it wasn't all that could. I was hoping for something great, but I was disappointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Timeline Works
Review: I really enjoyed Timeline. Not the best Crighton book, but very good none the less. If you enjoy his technical style you will enjoy this book. I couldn't help but adapting this book to a movie as I read it. I just hope they adapt Airframe first and don't ruin it like they need Jurasic Park.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Screenplay
Review: When I read the book I thought Crichton was writing a made for tv movie. It lacks the depth of some of his prevoius novels, though it is a departure from his usual fare. I give it 2 stars.
