Rating:  Summary: very cool Review: i really liked this book. it shows the downside of human nature and how we act when given a "power." the ending leaves you questioning, and makes you like "what would i have done in that situation?" although not his best, it is good. whatever you do, dont watch the movie. the movie is crap.
Rating:  Summary: yet another good read Review: i mostly love writing my reviews criticising others those who begin and end with one crichton book are simply closed minded no i don't think it was his best but not bad enough to be a first and last of crichton and not reading the book because of the movie? that shows someone clearly choosing to remain an ignoramus yes the movie was bad, read the book i am almost certain anyone would enjoy it much more a good read
Rating:  Summary: THE BEST MODERN FICTION EVER WRITTEN Review: This book gave me PURE AWE...it's unlike anything you've ever read...people over use the term a "page-turner", but believe me, this book is just that. This book is a masterpiece.
Rating:  Summary: Second only (among his works) to Jurassic Park Review: I've read nearly every book written by the author and rank this one as his second best work. "Sphere" combines an amazing number of solid, differing characters. In most novels of this genre, all of the characters come from similar backgrounds and fields of study. Crichton was ambitious enough, however, to combine professionals of many educations in the same context. The outcome is an impressive story of physics, mathmatics, psychology, biology, and science fiction. Oh, yeah . . . and an ending that will blow your mind (pay close attention to Beth in the final scene!).
Rating:  Summary: Another Masterpiece from Crichton!! Review: Hi! Me again! I love this book, but the ending could be a bit better, like.. wishing for world peace or sumpthin. Anyway, I read this one after Jurrasic Park and I was like: Wow! Why arent kids reading stuff like this instead of Animorphs and Goosebumps?
Rating:  Summary: This book got me hooked on Crichton; I had to read it twice. Review: This is Micheal Crichton in his finest form. Enriched by Crichton's medical background and technical knowledge, Sphere keeps you believing even through the most inplausible plot twists. For anyone who loves Crichton, for anyone who loves science fiction, I strongly recommend buying this book. I never read books twice, but this one was so good, I had to!
Rating:  Summary: Schlock Review: THIS is an author who writes "literature" according to Amazon's pre-publicity for Crichton's Timeline. Ha!
Rating:  Summary: AWESOME Review: This was a great book to read and you will find yourself doing it over and over again. It had a great plot and awesome action. The movie was VERY dissapointing, though (like they always are) some characters didnt exist, others were made up and the storyline was completely changed.
Rating:  Summary: Crichton's the BEST Review: Now, this is what you call science fiction. It's a GREAT book. And hey! Don't get upset if the plot seems far-fetched. After all, it's 'fiction' Go read it, or keep blaming yourself all your life for not reading it.
Rating:  Summary: The Greatest Book i've ever Read! Review: I absolutely adore this book! there's so much suspence and the book ends really well. I also like it cuz itz scary @ times, and i love the charachters, especially ted , the astrophysicist, the way he tries to figure out the perfect ting to say at the entrance of the spacecraft and i also like the way the scientists bicker and argue at times. Even though theres some scientific mistakes in it! A funny, suspenceful book worth buying. Congrats, Mike ;-)!
