3.0

A good, fun read, but I do think that it is on the bottom end of the now five Crichton books that I have read. I really enjoyed when outlandish medieval stuff happened, almost out of nowhere, but I do think that some of the book was jumpy. I have yet to see the movie, but my fan cast for some of the characters include: young Adam Baldwin as Chris, Jean Reno as Marek, and current Kevin Costner as the professor. 

Also, shout out to the lovey audiobook narrated by the very entertaining John Bedford Lloyd, which I used to continue the book while on the road. I’ve had plenty of narrators turn me off of an audiobook, but he is on the shortlist of those that have hooked me in.
