Title: Writing by the numbers
Review: I love a good time-travel yarn, but this one seems pretty formulaic. Once you get through the cursory but interesting discussion of quantum technology, you're left with a fairly mundane adventure yarn that's full of action but desperately thin on character.I guess the thing that's most disappointing about "Timeline" is that it never really gets beyond the stereotypes we all have of medieval times - it's all swordplay and jousting and castle intrigue. I would have enjoyed a little more insight into the time itself. Surely not everyone in the Middle Ages was brandishing a broadsword every second. Surely there are some interesting contrasts and parallels between that time and this one."Timeline" reads like a screenplay, and I suppose that's what it really is: opening next summer in a theater near you. Tarted up with special effects, the movie might actually be more interesting than the book. But I think I'll pass anyway.
