Narrator from hell

I love this book and was so excited to get it on Audible. This narrator is horrible. So boring on such an exciting story. And with a couple of the characters, he made them sound downright perverted the way they talked. I am not sure I will be able to finish this book with him narrating.

1st Crichton book i've read of his since college

...which was '94 - '97...the ubiquitous Jurassic Park, & then the lesser known, but arguably his 2nd best work: The Andromeda Strain. So, it was nice 2 read (listen to thru the Audible app) a different story not 1 of the 2 aforementioned. It wasn't a super great story...but, it WAS entertaining.

Not a great narrator

I love Michael Crichton and Timeline is my favorite of his works; however, the narrator here did not do the book justice.

Very much a fanaticy

I enjoyed this book but it is filled with too many crazy, too close, close calls.

science

Loved the minds of the scientists- how they remembered data and observations. Reminded me of my engineer husband.

Perfection

loved it. great historical fiction. great scientific fiction steeped in real science. well worth the time and money.

Awesome Book

M. Crichton hits it out of the park. This read keeps you on the edge of your seat Also, very believable. I know a little about the quantum realm, I was impressed

Oddly boring for Michael Crichton...

Surprisingly not your typical Crichton novel; shallow characters, boring plot, dragging timespan, predictable. Too-fast reader.

Not my favorite narrator, but amazing book

I love Michael Crichton books, and this one is a favorite of mine! I would have preferred that Scott Brick narrated this book (he narrated the Jurassic Park books and Dragon Teeth). The narrator of this book isn’t my favorite: sometimes it’s hard to hear his voice, and I didn’t like how he voiced some of the characters. The narration is okay, but the book is great!

Love the book

I really enjoyed the book but the narrator was not that great. I would reccomend that you read the book for yourself.
