Crichton Tempts, But Doesn't Deliver

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2000
Review: I was prepared to like this story, I really was. An acquaintance with whom I share many interests had recommended it in glowing terms. She?d also specifically recommended the audio-tape version.

I am a newcomer to fiction audio tapes. When...

Back To The Future With Michael Crichton

Date of Review:  Jul 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: Certainly not his best work and one that only true fans should endure. Someone please find Mr. Crichton's red pen and remind him to edit for brevity next time.
Review: Michael Crichton may do more research and impart more knowledge in one of his novels than any popular writer since James Michener. The similarity ends there. Suspense usually drives Crichton?s stories while Michener?s tended to be lush productions...

TIMELINE: "If you've got the quantum mechanics honey, I've got the time"

Date of Review:  May 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: A modern H.G. Wells shows us a world in the past with clarity and insight you won't find in your average history class.
Review: TIMELINE by Michael Crichton is another fine science-fiction-history/modern-civilization-critique much like his other great stuff like Jurassic Park, The Eaters of the Dead, etc. Crichton consistently gives us stories that stretch the boundaries of...

Professional Reviews

  Entertainment Weekly: "...[I]t hardly matters--it doesn't matter--that the minimal plot keeps shrinking until it virtually disappears, or that the action finally becomes so frantic it's almost slapstick, or that none of the characters, whether hailing from the 14th or 20th century, display much personality. Because this is an unapologetic novel of high adventure, and a very good one at that."
