Timeline is an excellent book that has both the scientific and fantasy sides of a story. I recommend it to everybody who enjoys a book with a little adventure.

I have read all of michael crichtons books, and this is by far the best. I would love to see a movie! The basic idea of this book is so original, and i found it easy to enjoy. I couldn't find a better read for months! I hope Crichton continues to write books and movie scripts. I have enjoyed everything he has worked on. The thourough detail and explicit refinement and glamour that he expresses is unmatchable. Describing the environment of fourteenth century france as disturbing because it is so silent is brilliant. The science he puts into his books is simply some of the best ive ever seen. I am an avid reader, and the only stuff that is better is J.R.R. Tolkiean and T.A. Barron. Crichton takes us through a whole new dimension of fear, adventure and suspense. As I stated, better literature is hard to find. I suggest this book to every range of people who are aged over fourteen. I thouroughly enjoyed Timeline, and I think anyone who is looking for avid, discriptive, and alltogether wonderful writing, Timeline is a must!

i have read almost all of his books except this one i really look forward to reading it.i heard it was extremely good judging by the reveiws on this page.one of the reviews states that it goes back in time and that it would be cooler if it went forward in time.i agree completely but it all depends on what you think about history.

I found this to be an exellent book filled iwth suprises and twists and turns. I am not a regular reader but found myself glued to the novel throughout its entirerty. I would highly reccoment this book to anyone who has interests in physics or the medevial times or who is just looking for a great read!

This is a great book! It'll make you want to read it again and again!

I thought it would've been better if they went into the future instead of back in time.

A great and powerfull work of a novel. One of Michael Crichtons most unespecting novel. Who would have known he knew so much about history. The knight part of the story is the closest thing to the Lord of the Rings. Truly epic, an unexpecting book. Really good!
