Summary: WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT?!!!
Review: I have read all of Crichton's masterpieces exept Travels, Disclosure, Rising Sun, and The Great Train Robbery. All of them were very good, the best being Jurrasic Park, Andromeda Strain, and SPHERE! The only one I was dissapointed in was Airframe which I didn't even bother to finish. I don't know what people see wrong with the ending. It is exactly what it shoud be. The unanswered questions are what makes it great. They let every reader determine for themselves where the sphere actually came from or if the people still have "the power." I personnaly think that Norman and Harry lost it while Beth kept it. Crichton could not have ended it better. As a big fan of his I would strongly recommend Sphere eventhough the movie was not that great (or so I've heard).

Summary: The apex of Crichton: combination sci-fi and fantasy
Review: This is the summit of Crichton's literary career. Characters are fairly flat, but better than in most of his other novels. The awesome plot carries them along well, though. The very idea which speeds this story along is chilling, as is the end. In some of Crichton's works the ending is sped up and is often anticlimactic but the finish of this one is bone-chilling. Ever throughout the novel the screw of suspense is twisted more tightly. This one is epic, topping all of Crichton's other works.

Summary: This Is My Favorite Boook!
Review: Sphere by Michael Crichton was my most favorite books ever. It has a very intresting plot and a ausome climax. Alothought the movie was bad, the book was 10 times better! The story takes place in the atlantic ocean when some people find an over 300 year old space craft. Astronamers go inside to see what they can find and inside their is somthing still alive and evil. I hope you read the book and if you saw the movie and hated it like me, well the book is still the greatest!

Summary: A winner of a novel
Review: Once you start reading this novel, you will not tolerate any interruption. Misterios and quite terrifying, the plot explodes into a gripping cllimax. The chilling atmosphere seemes so far-out yet so near as you read it with excited expectation. Most impressive and ingenious is the character of Harry.

Summary: Good book
Review: I think that this book was resonably good.I am not much of a sci-fi reader, but I couldn't put this book down and finished it in 2 days.A little on the wild side, but should be a promising book to those who read it.

Summary: Good Job Michael, I can't wait to read the rest of your work
Review: This was by far the best book I' have ever read. I loved the way everything is brought to life by Crichton's delicate pen. The movie doesn't do the book justice. I refused to let anyone talk to me during the last 30 pages or so. The suspense just builds and builds until you think it is about to end, and then it takes an unespected twist. It definately makes one think. Andromeda Strain was an excellent book that I've read a couple of times, but Sphere puts it to shame. What a Masterpeice!!

Summary: A Disappointing Crichton
Review: The first 3/4 of this book is great. Crichton sets up an excellent plot. The last 1/4 of the book is crap. He goes nowhere with the great plot. The reader never really finds out what the Sphere is! Come on Mike, you can do better than this!
