Title: Good and fast summer reading.
Review: "Timeline" is a very enjoyable summer reading. Crichton is as always well-spirited in finding a perfect ways to make things turn very fast and keep the reader on the edge of its seat. "Timeline" introduces time travel, although Crichton baffles things a bit by introducing a well-meant but probably too confusing details about multi-universe and quantum physics (that's why I've rated the book 4-star, and not 5). Main heroes (historians working on the project sponsored by some shrewd billionaire) are lost in medieval France, fighting hunger, own fears, ravenous knights, and racing against time in order to come back in one piece. The book has several twists and interesting plots but also some unfinished schemes. The reading is fast, and when it is over, one would like to see the sequel, or at least to have a chance to read some more. Is Crichton at his best? Probably not, but he proves he can write fantastic historical fictions. I wish he would do it again.
