Summary: Non-Stop Page Turner
Review: This book was awesome. Not only did it depict what would happen if humans developed the power of making their dreams come true, but the squid attacks and the jellyfish were really cool. I wonder what the food they found on the ship tasted like?

Summary: The best Sci-Fi in existance
Review: This Book is the best Micheal Crichton has ever written. The Characters are amazingly well-done, and the mystery of the spere itself is incredibly intriging. There's plenty of action, and books that involve people going insane are usually pretty good. The movie sucked, though.

Summary: How could anyone read this entire book???
Review: I just couldn't finish this book!! It was so boring, I gave up on it after about 50 pages or so.

Summary: book starts out looking promising, much suspense, but......
Review: i felt that the book started out great! I was so excited to turn to the next page. I kept thinking about all the possibilities of how the story could play out. Then i started to get disappointed. First off, I would have enjoyed the book better if they would have explored the ship more and didn't just focus on the sphere. Second i found the characters didn't seem that realistic. I still was confused about who Jerry was. Harry's shadow? Then they find a body in the ship that looks like Beth... what is that about? The manifestations were not that original. Squid? And what exactly was that foam? Frankly it sounded like the book was written just to become an action packed movie. To be fair I thought that the added scientific information about black holes and zoology was great to learn and the book is worth reading if you want a lot of suspense. Finally i want to add that Micheal Crichton has written books that i would give 5 stars (for example: Airframe).

Summary: boring, predictable, uninspired
Review: I'm a Crichton fan, but I'm very disappointed with Sphere. It's been awhile since I've read it, but I remember thinking how unbelievable most of the book was. I don't know how I finished it.

Summary: A Sci-Fi Story Mixed With Questions About The Future
Review: The Future...Where will we, mankind, be in 50 years? What kind of technology will we have discovered? What kind of morals or values will be taught to the next generation? Will we still be in existance? These are all things that Crichton leaves you to think about after finishing Sphere. Crichton created this novel about an alien space craft found in the middle of the ocean. He uses contrasting ideas from various occupations to describe the take on the "what if an alien space craft DID land on earth..." idea. Norman Johnson is a psychiatrist who,among others, is chosen to brave the depths of the sea and explore this alien space craft that seemed to "appear" in the water. This team of scientists heads down into a creepy adventure that, in the end makes you question the existance of society. While exploring the craft...the team of scientists discovers the truth about this mysterious crash, the truth about the crew members and what happened on that fateful voyage which sent the craft into the waters of earth, and a sphere which is of some alien base. What would you do if you found an alien craft and then suddenly realized it wasnt alien at all, but a space ship made by americans...in the future? Read this novel and find out the fate of the scientists, and what crazy scenerios they discover, while trying to figure out the mystery of this craft and it's alien cargo...the Sphere...
