After reading half of the book, l gave up. Too long and boring with details that slow the story!
A Memorable ( for the proper reasons ) Adventure

This is a memorable adventure that history lovers like me are nearly guaranteed to enjoy. I do wish the teleportation was better explained and the motivations of Doniger were better. The research of quantum mechanics and history is very detailed. The heroes and heroines in the story are likable. Do not let the title fool you, this is NOT a time travel story but a multiverse story.
If you enjoyed his book Jurassic Park you will most likely enjoy this because there are many similarities. His books often involve technology being misused.
Please do not let the abysmal movie deter you from reading this book.

In typical Crichton fashion, this was well researched and provided a wild ride. Pure excellence.
Good read

Not bad. A little predictable

Entertaining. Follows a formula to keep things moving. Predictable.
This author never disappoints …

Timeline is just as relevant and entertaining today as the day it was released. Michael Crichton is a world class storyteller and scientist. This is one of his best.
Captivating but often questionable

I found this book on my father’s book shelf as a young child and always wanted to know what to was about but being young with a distaste for reading I never got around to until recently. The story itself has an almost unique capability of being a time drama as well as a soft science fiction thriller. I must say that there are many times that the plot was pushed forward only by mere coincidence on more than one occasion, and I found a few points that seemed to be completely unnecessary (the crazed night at the Church of the Green Death for example) apart from adding more gore to an already bloody and action filled story. Overall, it was a pleasure to read!
Spectacular ‼️

Wow‼️ Michael Crichton is so smart and his writing was so far ahead of his time it is amazing. My second reading of this book was even more enlightening than my first.
