Summary: great, fast-paced story
Review: This book cooks along from beginning to end. Crichton uses a fast-paced writing style to keep you from putting the book down. Does not pay great attention to general detail (a la Tom Clancy) but is adequate enough to tell a great story and keep you guessing from beginning to end. Crichton's use of psychology and science, however, are excellent and the backbone of the story. The feelings of the characters, such as curiousity, fear, and anger, that radiate off the pages is splendid work. I read this in 5 hours straight.

Summary: Gripping Suspense with a Jellyfish Finish
Review: Typical Crichton, this novel spins a suspenseful web around technology with a typically reluctant, but plucky, lead character in Norman. The suspense was real and gripping throughout the book. I read each page with anticipation, expecting (and getting) a new plot twist at every turn. Why three stars? The ending drifted predictably to a Dallas-esque, never-mind-it-was-only-a-dream conclusion. The ending was so lame that I really felt let down. In the end, it was a five star book with a one star ending. I still recommend the book for the roller coaster ride it is. Just quit while you're ahead with about ten pages to go.

Summary: Bad plot, poor characterisation, disappointing
Review: Sphere failed to convince me; I haven't read a book in a long time which had such a bad combination of poorly drawn characters and unengaging plot. In essence, unconvinving.

Summary: One of Michael Crichton's Best! A Definate Winner!
Review: This book is nothing but suprises as a combination between a who-dun-it and sci-fi thriller. When everyone thinks it is somebody, the blame goes to somebody else. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat but still in your submarine at the daring depth of 1000 feet with a time traveling american space ship parked under 8 meters of pacific corel for the last 300 years right outside your door. Everyone should read this book for non stop action and adventure!

Summary: My favourite writter
Review: M.C is none other than a great sci-fiction writer and he's one of those writers who are in the 'best' catagory with A.C.Clerk. Jurassic Park, The Terminal Man,Congo,Sphere etc. are some of his marvalous creations.Also his books inspired me and my friend to write a sci-fiction short story and we won first place.Also I would take this chance to thank the great man. Your great admirers, Chamira & Mahasen 11/07/1998

Summary: A Great Book
Review: It was a fast moving book that managed to keep the mystery that before only movies could have. Despite what other people say I rather liked the end.
