I really enjoyed Timeline! Having seen the movie a dozen times I decided to read the book and I'm really glad I did. Crichton beautifully captures the student archaeological dig atmosphere, and creates a wonderful medieval adventure. While others have found that the science was explained too much before the action takes place, I found the pacing really nice and everything to be well balanced. I wish there was more!
As an audiobook reader, John Bedford Lloyd was fantastic and I would listen to him again in a heartbeat.
