This book is a science fiction comedy about a motley group of movie makers who travel to the eleventh century to film a Viking adventure.

For such a short book there are an amazing number of surprises, plot twists and turnabouts.

This is a fun book to read. "The Technicolor Time Machine" is funny book as well as a stimulating adventure story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Time travel was never this much fun..., July 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Technicolor Time Machine (Mass Market Paperback)

Harrison preceded the "Back to the Future" series by a number of years, and achieves much better and funnier results in one book than the three movies. And he pulls this off without any time paradoxes that are the staple of most time travel books.

The story proceeds at a madcap pace and all the Hollywood stereotypes are more than adequately captured.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hollywood producer uses time machine to bring picture in, July 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Technicolor Time Machine (Mass Market Paperback)

Harrison's classic about a movie producer who is out of money and out of time and solves his problems with a time machine. Book solves the mystery of the Viking encampment found on the North American continent (Vineland). Immortal punchline from book: "You can find anything in Hollywood"
