Summary: Enter the Sphere
Review: Wow. That about sums up this book. It is one amazing peice of hardware. This book starts out in the the middle of the Pacific Ocean near Tonga and takes you down about one thousand feet. Three hundred years ago (give or take five hundred) a spacecraft of unkown origan crashed here. The Psychologist in the book, Norman, is the main character. The way that this book is written will keep you guessing. Is Jerry creating the evil manifestations of the deep, or is something else doing it? And what is the significance of the Sphere? Does it have a purpose, or is it just a trophy picked up it the year 2048? Does Captain Barnes have his own hidden agenda,or is there more going on here thatn even he knows? I dare you to read this book. It will keep you exhilerated and you won't put it down until the final page. This is one of my favorite authors at his best. I hope that you all will read this book and try not to go nuts trying to figure it out. And remember, at a thousand foot deepsat expidition, no one can hear you scream.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your time.
Review: With so many good books written, don't bother with this one. Weak plot, page filling words and obvious situations with an obvious ending leaves this book as very ho-hum. Michael must have been under pressure from the publisher to pump this out. Read Timeline or Jurassic Park instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good book
Review: This is by far one of the most interesting and creative books I have ever read. The plot is simple. A 300 year old human space craft is found far below the earths surface. The character development and sophistication of this book is lacking being that its intent is to entertain the reader. If your looking for a challenging read do not buy this book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting Plot, Lame Ending
Review: I was looking for a quick read at my local library and picked Sphere up by accident. As a big Robin Cook fan, I immediately dove into this book. I never saw the movie, so I have a pretty un-biased opinion of the book.

The ideas behind Sphere were creative, but I found myself rolling my eyes at several totally unbelievable parts of the novel (and I'm a big sci-fi lover!). The dialogue between characters was also a bit forced, but I'd recommend this book if you're looking for something to read by the pool :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Crichton is too good an author to not like his books.
Review: A traditional Chrichton. The begining lags, as usual in Michael Chrichton. Then it gets good, and the mystery falls in. Then it gets to the ending. The ending was slightly dissapointing. There were unanswered fates, such as Hal C. Barnes' fate. But, maybe some things are better left unsaid. There should be a warning on the cover. WARNING: not for people with high blood pressure or respiratory or cardiac conditions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: sphere
Review: The book Sphere was a superb read. Not being able to put it down I finished it quickly.This story just hooks you. With a great plot, this book is supernatural. I usually don't read these kinds of books, but when I read about the spaceship it hooked me. If you like good twists at the end, that changes everything that you thought would happen, you should read this awesome, exciting, yet thrilling book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suspenseful and Engaging
Review: While not among the very best books I have ever read, Sphere is thoroughly engaging and kept me turning page after page from beginning to end. I've read many reviews that refer to Michael Crichton's cinematic writing style, and it's certainly on display here. (Although, as I've been told, the movie based on this novel was not particularly good.) As the plot unfolded, I was drawn in by the mystery of what is actually happening to the characters, and found myself caught off guard (pleasantly so) a few times as the truth was revealed. A good read, and one that I would recommend to almost anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredilbe from begining to end
Review: If you're into Michael Crichton books, then I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed here. One of Crichtons best books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of Crichton
Review: This is definatly Crichton's best. I first got it thinking about the movie but its the best because its NEVER slow.. even when he gets into the usual "crichton science" lectures its very interesting.. especially the time space chapter. This book comes down to one word at the end: imagination..which comes along with power. GET THIS BOOK NOW!!!!!!!!!! you WONT regret it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sphere Mania
Review: This is one of Michael's Crichton's best book of all times. This is a must read. If you like Timeline, you Will Totally LOVE this one.
