Summary: Bestselling brilliance from Crichton--even for sci-fi haters
Review: Personally I've never been much of a science fiction fan, although I have enjoyed Cricthton's other science-based thrillers like "The Lost World" and "The Terminal Man". This time Crichton takes the age-old science fiction formula--a spaceship crashed to earth--only this time its at the bottom of the sea. And if you're talking surprises and original twists to the oldest of formulas, that barely scratches the surface of the treasures waiting in this book. Norman Johnson is a brilliant hero, and the rest of the cast are equally likeable. Scary, thrilling, and in some parts knee-slappingly hilarious (the scene where the scientists bicker like children outside the space ship's door is one that will stay in my memory forever), this has the perfect blend of everything needed for a successful and enjoyable Crichton bestseller. Perhaps not just as original as his other undisputable classics ("Airframe" and "The Lost World"), but still miles ahead of the much-acclaimed "Andromeda Strain". Like one reviewer has said, this is 'typical Crichton'--which is more than good enough for me.

Summary: WOW!!
Review: When I started this book I would read about fifty pages and put it down, but then one day, when I was about half way through, I read for about two hours until I finished it. Now I'm only 14 and have never done that before. It was sooooo good. After I finished I was still thinking about it and who caused which things to happen (if you read it you know what I'm talking about). I've never read a book that cause me to think so much. It was really great. It had action like Jurassic park and scientific stuff like Andromeda Strain. Anyway read it.

Summary: the book is
Review: marvelous! No wonder it was so worned out when my cousin gave it to me. I was scratching it myself! This is the first book I ever read without conciousness about how many pages I was reading. It read so fast and I seemed 'inside' it!

Summary: Excellent! Crichton's Best Book Ever!
Review: 'Excellent! Crichton's best book ever' is a strong statement, but honestly, I feel that way. An excellent ending with great suspense, SPHERE is the Crichton novel to buy. A great group of characters, with a plot that always keep you second-guessing, this is typical, science oriented Crichton, but it is good! And is sort of fritening at parts. IF YOU READ ANYTHING BY CRICHTON, READ THIS!

Summary: Great book! Crichton at his best!
Review: I have read most all Crichton's works, and let me tell you, this one tops them all. It is everything Andromeda Strain and Jurrasic Park were, and more! I have never seen the movie Sphere and only have half a desire to, but there is no way it can ever best this book. In my opinion, this is one of the best books of the 20th century.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS IVE EVER READ
Review: Crichton's style of writing makes this book what it is. A Sci-fi masterpiece. Definitly his best.

Summary: Typical Crichton -- which is a good thing.
Review: Let's put it this way: If you liked "Andromeda Strain," or "Jurassic Park," or other books by Crichton, you'll probably enjoy this. It's good -- if a bit confusing at points, and a bit eccentric at others -- and worth the read.

Rating:
Summary: Typical fast-paced, exciting Crichton.
Review: The thought-provoking novels of Michael Crichton have continued to be exciting reads for me -- and a nice break from stress. This novel is no disappointment -- it provides the action and mystery that have made his other books worth the paper they're printed on. Perhaps a bit worn in spots, and at time a bit confusing, "Sphere" was nonetheless a worthwhile read, and provided the excitement I look for from Crichton.
