Summary: One of Crichton's greatest!
Review: Sphere kept me hinged on the edge of my seat the entire time, I absolutely loved it. Fast paced, exciting, and with enough explanation of the scientific aspects to keep the reader from being completely lost. Crichton excels at this type of writing.

Summary: Beautifly planned out. Great specific details.
Review: Michael describes these charachters perfect for the theme of this book. Definetly one of his better books. The difference in charachters set an exciting plot with all there different professions and thoughts. A truly beautiful piece of work.

Summary: This book was great
Review: A unexplained 300 year old ship was found in the bottom of the Pacific when a cable was being layed in the ocean. 5 people are sent down to explore. They go into the ship and find that it is supposedly from the future, with new technology. Signs of life were found in the ship, but no person was found. In a room, there is a huge sphere. Nobody knows whats in it or why it is there. Later on, a person figures out a way to get into the sphere, and whatever they dream comes to real life. Another person goes into the sphere, until all people have gone into it. whatever these people dream, comes true. 2 out of the 5 people die, and there is no way to go out because a Pacific Typhoone is right above them. They go into a emergency ship, and all agree to forget, so they dreamed they forgot about all that happened, and they did. The sphere dissappeared. People found them later on when the ships returned when the typhoone was gone.

Summary: Scared the hell out of me!

Summary: Sphere: A Must Read Novel
Review: I think that this book is the about the best one that I have ever read. It really keeps you coming back to read more because the plot really never ends. Once the chain of events is set in motion, the plot snowballs to the point that putting it down is no longer an option. And through out the entire book, Crichton keeps a strong sense of reality, so the plot stays solidly grounded in a down to earth manner. This book also depicts true human nature, which really makes you think about who you really are.

Summary: The best book I've read
Review: Michael Chrichton sure did come of big when he wrote this book. Sphere is an intense book with an extreme setting under the waters of the Pacific Ocean. It'll be hard to set this book down for you'll want to know what happens next!

Summary: crichton is no asimov
Review: Reading this, I could tell that Crichton loves big Hollywood movies, filled with young groovy scientists and lotsa shiny special effects. He also loves computers and high technology and space travel and the theory of general relativity. It's a pity then that he can't apply his mind's eye camera and grasp of all things technical to the writing of a decent sf novel - Sphere does has some intriguing ideas about time travel and alien life, but the execution is lousy - uneven pacing, one-dimensional characters and a conclusion that fizzles. If you think this is great literature, go back to reading pop-up books.
