Title: Well short of the usual Crichton novel
Review: Michael Crichton begins with a solid foundation for yet another thrilling novel, but unfortunately trips himself up along the way.The idea of time travel, while interesting and key to this story, isn't made strong enough to believe or even explained enough to completely comprehend. The reader is left with too many questions regarding its validity, even for a fiction book, which therefore takes away from the rest of the tale.And the rest of the tale grows thin as well. The surprisingly lacking character development never creates a well-rounded cast and allows for predictable outcomes. Certain sequences seem extremely unlikely dispite the fantasy aspect of the story. Crichton seemed to force the drama in some passages, creating the cheesy scenes Hollywood is most likely to scoop up. The reader soon begins to pray for a quick conclusion to the book instead of hope for more.Though well written, Crichton's latest novel is far from the norm.
