Title: Time travel is nasty, brutish, and short.
Review: Crichton's latest movie script, masquerading as a novel, is another tedious formula book. I appreciated his overview of quantum technology, the possibility of multiverses, and his detailed research on medieval Europe. However, any book (or movie) that relies on a clock timer ticking backwards for suspense is inherently lame. The characters are moderately interesting, although mostly cliché and rarely compelling. Until Crichton demonstrates an ability to break free from this TV/movie-friendly writing, I will avoid his future work.
