Query: Narrow Escape Literature

The Hardy Boys team with Nancy Drew and battle Midaevil men with halitosis. The first part of the book is modestly entertaining, explaining the physics of time travel. The second is full of nothing so much as Hollywood cliche. Crichton doesn't really write the second half--he experiments with narrow escapes (we're SO surprised---Frank and Joe emerge aLIVE!) to see which one Spielberg might favor in the inevitable movie. The villains and good guys are so predictably drawn that you almost hear the Bernard Hermann music strike up when one of them menacingly scratches his chin. It's just all too silly and it's all been done before--just ask Franklin W. Dixon. Wait for the movie, then wait for the video.
