Title: false step
Review: "Timeline": is quite boring, literarily a disaster, and even the science behind it looks questionable and unconvincing. It's not a novel, but rather what I would call a long description of a movie. I could hardly believe that it was written by the same great author who has given us "Congo", and "Jurassic Park". My impression is that Crichton himself is well aware of how weak the idea behind the novel is. Then, hundreds and hundreds of repetitive pages about the Middle Ages aren't but about endless chases, and cartoonish coups de theatre. The long and useless list of sources at the end of the volume cannot make up for the author's (regrettable) superficial treatment of both history, and time-travel implications of quantum physics. What a pity!
