Rating: Summary: 4 star book Review: THe is probably Crichton's best book ever. it is non-stop reading with excellent attention to detail and an enthralling storyline. I would recommend this to a fan of Crichton, or anyone
Rating: Summary: I feel that this is one of Crichton's best! Review: "SPHERE" was an excellent book, I have recommended it to everyone I know. This book is full of suspense, once you begin it you can't put it down. I have read almost all of Michael Crichton's books and this one is tied with "Andromeda Strain" as my favorite!
Rating: Summary: This was really weird... Review: but i liked it. it fits really well together. i was just a little mad that the marine biologist didn't continue. there are a lot of twists in it that make it even better. the end was a little unrealistic, but it was exactly what it should have been.
Rating: Summary: Why does he do this to me? Review: Michael Crichton has some sort of spell he puts on me whenever I see one of his books. I just have to buy it or check it out. Why do you do this, Mr. Crichton?
Rating: Summary: Crichton's best! A terriffing pageturner Review: This is one hell of a good book. Crichton's ability to stun the imagination is put to work like never before! His caracters have a reality that makes them walk with the storyline. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it. The chemistry that is displayed with his love of writing really came through for me. A real treat!!
Rating: Summary: Crichton's best to date!!! Review: Micheal Crichton has got to be one of the best story teller's ever.My friends told me Sphere was good and boy were they ever right.I truly couldn't put this book down.I read the last 150 pages in one night.The only disappointing part of this book was the ending.I recomend it to everyone!!!
Rating: Summary: Great book, bad ending Review: An absolutly brilliant book with wonderful story line. The auther did a beautiful job on pulling the reader into the story line, helping them to get attached to the charecters. To bad about the ending though, it is almost as if Michael had a deadline and sort of tacced on the last 15 pages. The book is still worth paying for if not for the whole thing then for the story at least
Rating: Summary: Good Review: I usually don't read Michael Crichton, but I saw this book on the bestseller shelf and, wanting a good read that would while away my New Year's holiday, picked it up. I can definitely see how much better this story will be as a movie, as the characters seem to cry out for an actor's interpretation to make me want to care about them. I was disappointed by how all the technobabble was wasted in favor of direct action. Still, the suspense is worthwhile and I feel I had paid a good price for the time I spent reading the book.
Rating: Summary: Flat characters, bad science, weak, unbelievable plot Review: Sphere is the same as all of Crichton's books. A group of people go into a novel environment (lost jungle city/dinosaur inhabited island/spaceship under water) get chased by monsters, everything blows up, solving the problem. The science in Sphere is highly suspect, the characters are flat, the plot is unbelievable. After years of students telling me how great the book was and not being able to read it, I finally forced myself to get beyond the first couple of chapters. The story didn't get any better. I still didn't care about the characters. The plot was almost page-by-page predictable. Forget this book.
Rating: Summary: Sphere Review: Sphere is the most amazing book I have ever read. It goes from a Sci Fi novel, to a mystery who done it type in away. I am not going to spoil the ending to just keep your Imagination open and expect the unexpected!!!!
