Title: Boo! Garbage!
Review: Crichton has a habit of producing books that are either superb or utter rubbish. Timeline, though it has a premise of incredible potential, is uninspired and disappointing; it may even surpass Lost World in terms of dull heroes and unacceptable plot. By unacceptable, I mean that the reader is never able to completely suspend their disbelief and accept the situations the paper-chain characters find themselves in. I was also sad to see Crichton contradict his eloquent explanations of time travel in Sphere - a book more enjoyable because the science was better explained and incorporated.If you had the power to go back in time, why go to France in the middle ages? Why not find out who really killed Kennedy and examine the life of Jesus, or bring back a dinosaur and start some sort of Jurassic park... oh, never mind.
