This is an interesting twist on time travel. I had read it years before in paperback. However, I was disappointed with the Kindle version. The story has been edited and abridged! I am aware of at least 3 (pretty important) scenes which are in the original but that do not appear in the Kindle version.Is the author's estate aware you made these changes??
For twenty years or more, Crichton was king of the sci-fi thriller genre. His creative genius is splashed across many books that I would easily rate 5-stars. This is just not one of them. I loved the detail he put into the setup and operation of the system that allows the characters to travel in time. But one of the problems with any time travel book is that you have to decide where to focus the bulk of the story - on the aspects of time travel, or on the adventures at the destination time period? Crichton chose the latter, which led to a book about 14th century France. If you like that time period, you'll probably enjoy the book. It's well written, but I was hoping for more science fiction and less historical drama.
*****SPOILERS*****Early on the characters start out going into painful details about quantum mechanics that, even as a serious Sci-Fi fan, I found tedious and booing. Then they make a SERIOUS, and rather stand-out point that time travel is impossible and they are actually traveling into alternate universes... OK!! I can get with that! The fact that alternate universes would exist in different time periods (they travel to an alternate universe which exists in the 1300s.) seemed very strange, but I was willing to go with it. I mean it IS fiction, I'll go with your unique twist on how alternate universes exist. But when a person who traveled to an alternate universe was able to leave a "Help Me" note in a pile of old parchments in the 1300s which is found in THIS universe, it took a turn that made NO Sense at ALL.After that, the book just goes on and on and on in the 1300s and nothing actually happens.. it's a game of tag. Run. Hide. Get Captured. Escape. Run. Hide. Get Captured. Escape. Get into a fight. Run. Hide. Get Captured. Escape. Just trying to waste time in the book (about 50% of it) until the machine automatically returns home.I powered through the last 3/4 of the book just waiting to get to what I expected was a Twist ending discovering that the scientists misinterpreted the "Alternate Universe" theory and they WERE actually traveling back in time.... but no. The characters returned home from the alternate universe only to check out the grave of one of their party members who stayed behind... which, AGAIN, WOULDN'T EXIST IN THIS UNIVERSE.Characters: Not interestingStory: Not interestingSci-fi: Nonsensical.
I had such high hopes for the movie when it came out. But, of course, they ruined it. Not like other books you read that are great novels and would be very difficult to capture the feeling you get reading it. The great movie is right there written in the book. They just need to try reading it. Anyway, the grittyness of the dark ages is so real in this that you wonder how anyone survived back then. Definitely not like an Errol Flynn movie. Nobody spoke English, the knights are built like body builders, and if you’re caught in the woods, you’re assumed to be a bandit and immediately killed. Dang. It’s good.
I enjoyed this book so well that I give it AS MANY as 4 stars. However, there were several things that frustrated me, thus, ONLY 4 stars.I am not especially scientifically minded, so the explanation of how the quantum physics worked was lost on me. Just had to 'believe' that it worked.Mostly (ie. transcription errors).Although the personalities of the characters were described well, we don't get to know them well enough to believe in them. For example: In the present, Marek is well versed in jousting and swordplay. However, it seems unbelievable to think that he would be better than the knights that actually lived doing these things - they needed to in order to save their lives. In the present, Kate is a mountain climber - a good one. However, it's a bit of a stretch to believe that she could climb around the outside of the castle wall or jump 5 feet to the next rafter of a ceiling and not fall. Chris is pretty believable.The action was smooth and could be followed easily. However, when the trio got into desperate circumstances, there were too many times that they were saved JUST in time. ... I liked that though Marek lived in a different universe, it was so closely like the universe that he came from that his 'death stone' gave a satisfying ending to his life.
I first read this book a few weeks ago while doing laundry at my apartment complex. It was a book very hard to put down once you start. I know I couldn't. It got me hooked. Also, I had gotten to know the author through Jurassic Park, the book, and countless others, I knew his work would be an ideal choice! No disappointment there! I have to say, having read the book, I found that it is way better than the movie. But then again, there were so much information in the book that it would be hard to put them all in a movie.
It’s great that so many people love this book, but I disagree totally. It’s interminable and written poorly. My first Crichton, so I don’t know his style, and obviously it clicks with millions of people. For me, it never seemed to end, I didn’t care about the characters, and there are times when research for the 14th Century scenes seems to have come straight out of Shrek. The premise is fantastic, but the execution clunky and simplistic, I felt. Very disappointed.
