I had trouble getting into this. I think maybe it’s just not my style of book since it was highly recommended from a friend.

A riveting novel told in such a way as to showcase the late Crichton’s mastery of the form, Timeline is a gripping exploration of what would happen if a group of Yale academics were forced to apply their studies in real-word scenarios. The twist being, they are medievalists, and the real world scenario is being transmitted hundreds of years in the past to France in the mid-fourteenth century. With a slower start to set the exposition in such a way as to not insult the sophisticated reader, the book’s pacing, once it gets going, is unyielding. One truly feels the tick-tick of the clock as the team’s prospects for a safe return to the present dwindle with each sword unsheathed, each mystery unfolded. It is a ripper of a story, and well worth the read.

John Bedford Lloyd is a great narrator as always it’s a pretty decent book the ending runs on a little long other than that not too bad I love everything Crichton also didn’t realize this was made into a movie

Boring Narrator very flat. Would like to return book.

Brilliantly written. Narrator is technically sound and diverse, if a bit campy.
