Timeline: A Novel Audiobook

" 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. "

" The parts I enjoyed the most were the depictions of medieval life. I thought this book was good entertainment if you want an easy read with a bit of escapism. "

" 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. "

" Interesting book on the concept of quantum physics and the ability to time travel to the past. Did a good job describing what medieval times would look like. "

" 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. "

" Read the book ... Movie alas is bad.. "

" This was entertaining. I'm always impressed with how Crichton manages to integrate so much technical information in with the plot without it being overbearing or boring. "

" One of the most amazing books by Crichton. All the characterizations are gud, the story is engrossing. "

" 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!! "

" I kinda struggled in the beginning and almost lost interest but then it got better and I could not put the book down later. Makes me want to go to France....in the past.... "

" Awesome if you love terrible things! "

" Fabulous!! One of my favorite Crichton book. Waaaay better than the movie!!! "

" 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. "

" Awesome read. One of my favs. Beginning is ok, but as you get to the middle to the end, very fast actions based. Recommend to anyone who would like a little futuristic read mixed with midevil action "

" 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! "

" A great fast paced science/history inspired adventure as would be expected from Crichton. Great light reading. "

" 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. "

" I simply devoured this book- twice. Intense telling of a story that will have you at the edge of your seat. "

" A fun time for fans of European history with Sci-Fi elements to boot! Probably the best book I ever bought out of a thrift store. "

" imajinatif "

" Had a hard time getting into this book, and I would have liked to have the characters better developed. They were all kind of cardboard characters to me. But overall it was an impressively researched book and I really enjoyed it. Great adventure story. "

" Great fun, imaginative as ever from Crichton. Again not the best, but if you compare this to so many other thriller writers, he is in a different league. Very enjoyable "

" DNF. I've tried to keep reading this book and I just can't. Don't much like time travel books and honestly, I liked the movie better. "

" Loved this book, classic Critchton as always "

" I didn't enjoy it this time as much as I did when I read it 12 years ago :-( "

" Of all the Crichton books I've read, this was was by far my favorite. Maybe it was the medieval and fantasy themes, I'm not sure. Regardless, it was fantastic. "

" Here , Michael, combines a science of the future,, with the past, " fourteenth-century, medieval times " Takes on the magnificent adventure as " Jurassic Park ", did......... "

" Audio. I'm having a hard time following the story, it doesn't hold my attention very well. The narrator is very affected differentiates the various character well. Done. Really one of the stupidest books I have ever read-well, listened to. "

" An interesting idea on hopping back thru time. And as usual, the science/history is thought provoking. "

" Very well imagined. Their adventures in the 14th century we're very detailed and fast-paced, which made it hard for me to put down the book. "

" I'm enjoyed this book it was average nothing special the characters were bland and had nothing deep about them and the story line seemed very basic but it was easy to read and did not require to much in depth thought! "
