Summary: Ho-hum
Review: Seems to me it's kids who like this book so much. I can't imangine anyone with brains who think MC is go great anymore. These days he writes with the big screen in mind. I remember reading "The A--- Strain" centuries ago and it was really D--- good. Someone mentioned "The Great Train Robbery" which is very good because it's based on a true (note:TRUE)story so MC can't stick any lizard aliens in it. (Why are all aliens lizard-like anyway? What ever happened to semi-human types). Will I watch this move? No way, with a dopey cast like that. Did I read the book? I don't have to, I have telepathy.

Summary: One of his best
Review: I read this book when it first came out, and could not let go. I've been waiting for the movie evere since... Now that I've seen it, I can't wait to read the book again. A must read and a must see.

Summary: THANNK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...
Review: Finally somebody agrees with me in regards to chrightons characters. He may or may not have good storylines or original ideas, i dont really care. If there arent at least semi-interesting characters to bring the tale to life then the story is hardly worth reading...

Review: Crichton's Best Yet.

Summary: Incredible Book
Review: This book is tied with Crichton's "Andromeda Strain". It is incredible and you will never put it down, a little dramatic in some parts, but that's how Crichton is, and the suspense makes up for it. I have read 2 Crichton's: "The Andromeda Strain" and "Sphere"- both excellent. Also, watch the movie. As usual it is not as good as the book. It skips a lot of parts and "cheeses" it up a bit, but it's overall pretty interesting. READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: Interesting premise, thrilling story, really LAME ending
Review: The ending of this book was so weak and unimaginative that it ruined the entire novel. It is as if Michael Crichton worte a great story and slapped the ending together as an afterthought. It has to be one of the worst books I have read and it all has to do with the "Let's pretend nothing happened and it will all go away" ending. After reading the novel I have lost all respect for Michael Crichton as an author. All his stories seem to have "zero-impact" endings. After all is said and done the worlds in which his novels take place are no different on the last page as they were on page one. This includes Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, that lame movie Demi Moore was in, and Sphere.

Summary: Good
Review: It's a great action yarn but it leaves you cold in the end. The movie clips on TV shows a fanged snake creature but in the book ther was no such thing. The book leads you up to one helava climax like in Steven King's novels but just like Steven, the book leaves you holding a wet towel.

Summary: I loved it!!! The most awesome book I have ever read.
Review: This book is so good, that after checking it out at the library and reading it, I went and bought it, and read it again! The action, characters, and plot is all top-notch. I recommend this book to anyone, even those people who dont care for sci-fi should rush out to buy this book. The movie, on the other hand, leaves alot to be wanted.

Summary: Crichton's Best
Review: I've read all of Crichton's books except for The Great Train Robbery. This is by far Crichton's best book yet. Not as high concept as Jurassic Park, but more readable than JP.

Summary: The book was better
Review: Although the movie was very good, I believe that, as always, the book was better.
