Summary: One of the best book I have ever read! The end is PERFECT!!!
Review: This is a great book, you just can't stop reading it. And the end is exactly what it should be, because it is the one you would never think about it! You have to read it.

Summary: Not very well written...surprisingly disappointing
Review: Being a Crichton fan, I was very disappointed by this book. Crichton usually writes in a combination of theory and fact, which is what makes his books so interesting. However, this book is just way-out "weird dream" fiction. If you are a Stephen King fanatic, you may like this...it's just like Tommyknockers, only add an ocean. It was too unbeleivable to be enjoyable. It could have been made interesting if the alien object (the sphere) was the focus of the book, rather than the exploration team. Where did that thing come from then? What was it designed for? And, why? Who knows...in this book all that matters is the 3 member team left at the end of all the weird stuff!

Summary: I read this book twice and I think it was just plain GREAT.
Review: I loved this book for many reasons. First it was a very suspenceful and scary book. I like that. It had many exiting plot twists and freaky elements. When I was reading it i figured it would mostly focus on the suspected alien ship ( they weren't sure what it was till the middle ). SUPRISE! To my suprise, it actually took place mostly in the habitat. This book is a great, great book for everybody. If you don't like Crichton, who cares?! You have to read this book. It's worth every cent. It's non-stop exitement and I reccomend it to EVERYONE. READ THIS BOOK!!!

Summary: Crichton at his best?
Review: Definitely a most read for any Crichton fan, or anyone who is looking for a good science fiction mistery thriller. The plot is clever and the characters are believable. The action is non stop and if you didn't know nothing about space-time and black holes, you will with this one. The only thing in the whole book that it really didn't make it, was the end. It wasn't exactly what I expected. But the book was greate. If you are looking for you first hot Crichton title, read this one!. Trust me, you'll like it.

Summary: too bad...an excellent book ruined by the ending!
Review: now i can tell myself that i've been right...so many people also say that the ending is really, really BAD! the book has such a brilliant plot but why did Crichton have to ruin everything with that stupid ending?

Rating:
Summary: deeply psychological, fantastic explanation
Review: There are three levels on which to enjoy Sphere: the movie (ehh...), the book (great), and the book after you're read Carl Jung (wow!). Jung's "shadow" insights were used quite frequently to illustrate the true power of the sphere, and I believe it's a testament to Crichton's writing skills that he makes it plausible and understandable for any reader. The psychological element makes this book a fascinating work (and its omission made the movie quite droll).
