As a history buff, I was particularly thrilled with the great detail that Crichton provides of the medieval times, in which much of the story takes place. If you enjoy historical fiction with a tinge of...” see full review » see other reviews » |

Will check out other books by the author since this was my first one from him.”

“I found "Timeline" to be equal parts intriguing and boring. The premise is a good one: a private company wants to invent time travel in order to make a profit, and the opening scenes setting up the conspiracy are riveting. However, when the company sends three history students to medieval past in order to retrieve their professor, I quickly (and surprisingly) lost interest. All of the students are bland characters, and I didn't care about the power struggle between two local lords. Obviously there had to be conflict once the students arrived in the past, but for a Crichton book, it was never very suspenseful.”

The quantum science part of it was very interesting, even if difficult to follow, and the descriptions of life in the middle ages would definitely keep students interested. This would be a good book for boys - lots of descriptions of weapons, military tactics, and some battles.

Jessica Dobson”“Maybe a 4. It took me 100 pages to get into the book, sooo many details and a bit much on all the science that is beyond me. ”

“Ich habe die deutsche Fassung gelesen. Michael Crichton schreibt spannende Geschichte mit gut erklärtem wissenschaftlichem Hintergrund - hier Reise ins Mittelalter an die Dordogne in Frankreich.”

“Luv most of Crichton. Passed too early. Luv the mid-evil era mixed with modern day.”
