Technology and Ponies

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If they like time travel and medieval stuff then this book will float your 1324 battleship.

What did you like best about this story?

My roommate and I listened to it while on a road trip. I fell asleep somewhere during the explanation of quantum physics, so you'd have to ask him.

Which character – as performed by Stephen Lang – was your favorite?

Anyone who spoke in medieval English.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No... BUT... if you want to get some crazy good nap time in on a boring roadtrip this is perfect (especially if the driver digs it, because that is the person who needs to be awake and all.)

Any additional comments?

I would say I slept for AT LEAST 80% of this book, but from what I heard it was pretty good.

Awsome

Even before the movie came out I purchaced this book and was mesmerized. buy it, you will noot be disapointed.

Thrilling story from start to finish

This was a great listen. Crichton does not disappoint. Despite being out for many years now this book still has a long waiting list at my local library. That should say something in itself.
