" The book is a good read and the audio version follows it word fir word!
There are historical facts and locations sprinkled with a good story line. This book is as gripping as Jurassic Park and teaches a bit of history at the same time. "

" I needed to read (listen to) a good book after reading a number of finance related stuff. I watched the Timeline movie in 2005, read the book recently, and watched the movie again. The movie has some plot changed. Book is nicely written. I would suggest listening to it than reading it in the interest of time. "

" I don't know what happened. I used to enjoy Crichton but it seems his quality is sliding down for me. It took forever to get to the action... and it' all very reminiscent of Jurassic Park? I should have loved this book. After all, it combines sci-fi and history. Oh well... maybe I'll try another one of his books one day. The Great Train Robbery has some good reviews. We'll see. "

" Timeline is a really good book, but I did not like the ending. The story is well told and the author took time investigating and explaining how this technology could be possible. I could not believe they would kill the founder/owner of the company just because he was a jerk. I would have given the book 4 stars otherwise. "

" Good time travel romp. Enjoyed the description of the lawless times. Made me very grateful for being born in twentieth century. When you read the initial description of the machines and what happens to you I did question why anyone would participate!! "

" The story is attractive, but Crichton includes some implausible details in an attempt to make the end more exciting. There are several continuity errors throughout the book. I felt like I was reading the next to the last draft of a good book. "

" This was my favorite book in high school. I loved reading it. The thing I love about Crichton's writing in this book (and many others) is that no detail is left to the imagination. Every question you could possibly have is answered. Love that! "

" Not Crichton's best. Concept is interesting if not unique (hello, Connecticut Yankee), but characters are even thinner than in the usual Crichton novel. Skimmed through the second part of the book. "

Done. Really one of the stupidest books I have ever read-well, listened to.
