Timeline, Michael Crichton (3)
All the Michael Crichton books I’ve read tend to mix
science, mystery and lots of action- all good elements for a compelling book.
‘Timeline’ is no different, though I found it the weakest of the 4 or 5 others.
In this book, the science is quantum physics and time travel; the mystery is
wrapped around time travel with the action mostly happening in France during
the 100 yrs war during the 1300’s. While some of the science is thought
provoking, the action during the time in the past is mostly confusing and
unbelievable. Not a bad book for a quick summer read, but I found myself
scowling with questions more than I like for this type of book.
