Summary: if i could, i would give it 10 **********
Review: this is the best book i have ever read!!!! it was so realistic and suspensfull, i thought i was there! even if u don't enjoy sci-fi, read it anyway, cause this book is more realistic fiction that sci fi. if ur thinking about reading this book, and haven't yet seen the movie, DO NOT SEE THE MOVIE BEFORE U READ THE BOOK!!!the book is so much better than the movie, and if u see the movie first, it will absolutely ruin the book. i have read a number of mr chrichton's books, and out of all that i read, sphere is the best, and is even my favorite book out of all the books i have read, which is a lot cause i love to read. i am even a fantasy reader and still loved this book, it's a real winnner.

Summary: The master of sci-fi at his best.
Review: This was only the second book of his that I read and it was absolutely the best! I agree with some of the other people that reviewed this book when they said it had a slow start. But it didn't take long until it was a book I couldn't put down. I'm somewhat of a slow reader and I finished the book in a few days. I recommend this book to anybody who wants an adventure into the unknown.

Summary: An excellent book if you like Sci-Fi Thrillers
Review: This book is good for those who enjoy Science Fiction and suspense. The book may not start off at a quick pace but after the first few chapters the book gets a lot more exciting. This book is a must have for Sci-Fi fans!!

Summary: Took least time for me to read
Review: A novel like a movie. Once you open it, you won't loose(?) the book

Summary: Great ideas to start, suspenseful, yet lack satisfaction
Review: Probrably because I saw the movie before I read the book, I thought suspense and the giant squid have stolen the core.There are a lot of good ideas presented in the book. Those psychological descriptions of the crews and the studies Norman did were very interesting. The power of altering reality with our mind was also a stunning idea, since if, we are the combination of matter and energy, we can probrably reverse the effect to create matter or energy. Writing a sci-fi book requires a lot of researches in the fields related, and it is understandable that some details are "unintentionally" avoided or less explanatory. But, those are the areas that I felt unfulfilled.

Summary: Utterly dire...stuff for 10 year olds.
Review: This book is the first Crichton I've read and will absolutely be the last. I would give this book to a third grader to read, and even then they'd probably hate me. The dialogue is so amazingly poor, so horribly childish, so laughably bad I went through it with a highlighter to pick out some of my favourite pieces of trash. This book is like an Ed Wood film, so bad it becomes funny. How, how, how did Crichton achieve anything as a writer? He can't write, he can't direct, what kind of remedial is he?

Summary: Not very good
Review: A fan of Crichton's previous books, I didn't like this one very much. It was very predictable. The annoyance of some of the characters i.e. Harry, Ted and Beth really got to me after a while. I was wishing that Beth and Harry would die so that they could shut up. I guess I was wrong. Thank God Ted the most annoying character was killed. But come on a squid attacking the habitat?? It's trite and boring. Also the ending 'Let's just forget about everything and everything will be ok!' What a joke, it only shows society's mentality of thinking that they can solve their problems by magic. The only good thing about this book is that some of the discussions between the characters gives a lot of insight on human nature.

Summary: HIS BEST BOOK YET
Review: This is a very well writen book. It keeps the reader turning the pages chapter after chapter. The stunning realizum of his nicely chosen words adds a vast world of description and detail. I have also read Congo, Jarassic Park, Andromeda Strain, The Great Train Robery, and The Lost World. I recomend all of them to Chrichton fans. Sphere is by far the most interesting and gripping yet. The last 30 pages are very suspensful.

Summary: The Mastermind behind Jurassic Park strikes again!
Review: Anymore, I have grown more convincingly aware that H.G. Wells has infact been reincarnated in the form of Michael Critchon and the results are phenomonal! Critchon writes so many hits that it's hard for me to choose a favorite, yet SPHERE remains at the very top of my list alongside THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, JURASSIC PARK and other fabulous works by authors like Stephen King, John Grisham, Dean R. Koontz, and Terry Brooks. If you haven't read SPHERE yet you have no clue what wonderfully contagious, thought provoking writing you're missing!
Rating:
Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: THIS IS ONE OF HIS BEST BOOKS I'VE READ. VERY CREATIVE AND NEVER BORING. COULD NOT STOP TURNING THE PAGES. INTENSE, HORRIFYING, AND INTELLIGENT. WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER IT.
