Title: Bayeaux Tapestry it's not!
Review: Michael Crichton would have been better served if he had sent his time travelers back in time to interview more capable authors, in the hope that they might bring back some tips that might add a second and third dimension to his writing. This book is cartoonish at best. Reading this book is like watching Vic Morrow in TV's Combat. We know who is going to get whacked by book's end - just as soon as we meet all the characters. How these fish-out-of-water characters survived their adventure is explainable only by the fact that the big stars who play them in the movie have to stick around long enough to justify their paychecks. Is there any cliche not touched on in this writing-by-the-numbers exercise? Crichton phoned this one in. Let's see... if I replace the dinosaurs with knights, and I replace the island with a castle.... Ka-ching goes the cash register!
