Summary: One of my favorite books!
Review: As a joke, I like to keep this on my boat. Very well thought out, his best book by far. I read it in one day two summers ago, can't put it down. It can be looked at from different angles, dealing with aliens and the concept of black holes, and the unknown. A must read for those who don't think Sci-FI is for them. Basic yet complex, he lays out his theories in layman's terms. Don't base it on the movie, it's much better than that.

Summary: Do NOT be deceived by the movie...
Review: This is a great book, suspence filled and keeps you thinking. We all know the movie stunk but keep that out of your mind, in fact never see the movie in the first place. If you have to see the movie, see it after you read the book, don't let the movie ruin a wonderfull plot and suspense that the book sphere has to offer.

Summary: A Stretcher For Your Mind
Review: There are many science fiction books written and published to the public, but none with such detail and research as Sphere. This book is an excellent mixture of scentific fact and scientific fiction which makes it more real to read.Synop: It starts out with a collection of people (4) who have mastered their fields of Physics, Math, Biology, and Psychology. They were recruited by the Navy to investigate an underwater vessel which is one mile in length and over 300 years old. What they find on the ship boggles their mind in engages them in an intellectual journey in understanding the human mind. In there struggle to understand the incomprehensible, they slip closer and closer into insanity as the pyschologist keeps everyone together. Once you start reading this book you won't be able to put it down. You will be engulfed in a new world while your world fades away as you continue reading. Its thrilling, mind-boggling, and titilating to any avid reader with an active imagination. The ending is the best part of the whole book. The last 10 pages are exactly what they should be. Unfortunately, the movie couldn't capture thr real suspense of the novel. The point of this book is to take your mind on an adventure, which will be different for everyone. A movie simply cannot capture the film being rolled in your head. One of the best things about this book is the readability of the book. I could read this book about 10 more times and I still would enjoy it on many levels as I did the first time reading the book. You will also catch small details which are critical in understanding whats going on, so re-reading the book several times is a must. (Trust me, you'll enjoy it!). Final thought: There is a reason why its New York Times bestseller with over four million copies sold.

Summary: Sci-Fi plus Mystery
Review: This book was very interesting. It combines science-fiction and mystery in one. In fact, I found this book to be so interesting that it is one of my favorites. All of this author's books are my favorites, If you haven't read this book, it is about a gold sphere in a spaceship that messes with peoples' minds. I highly recommend reading this book.

Summary: As a SCUBA diver, I can assure you, *very* realistic!
Review: This book was astoundingly great, and the movie was astoundingly terrible, I felt ashamed that I had seen the video. Oh well, the book is great, and totally unique. It also has a very well done twist at the end of the novel, and keeps you addicted to the book. One of the reviewers said, "This book should come with popcorn." Well, I certainly agree and would drink to that any day!

Summary: One of the best novels ever written
Review: Try to take Richard Bach and his 'Illusions' and make his characters so well defined that you'd think they're real, existing people, and you'll have 'Sphere'. It's one of the best books I ever read. It makes you think you mean something in this world and life is worth living. It makes you proud to be a human being. And that's, I'd say, enough to take it in your hands.
