Summary: The best book I ever read in my life.
Review: Sphere was by far the best book I have ever read. I saw the movie when it came out, and thought, This is great. Then I read the book, and I couldn't believe how bad the movie was compared to it! And I really liked the movie so you can imagine how good the book is. So I finished the book, and now I'm going to buy it =) For all of you sci-fiers that haven't read it, I suggest you do because IMHO it is one of the best books ever written.

Summary: gripping, perplexing, and imaginative, sheer genius!
Review: After reading this book, you will be more conscious of yourself, your surroundings, and how precious your life is. You might even understand the role of humans on earth, what makes us different... Just when you think the characters can't get into any more trouble, Crichton takes their desperate situation and smashes it to pieces. It is amazing. Sometimes it gets a bit on the technical side, so if you don't like to read about a lot of scientific information, this book might bore you a bit, yet for those who are interested in the sciences, Crichton manages to take the most advanced perplexing concepts and explain them to the reader with extremely suave. The ending is superb, and I must advise any one who likes science to pick it up today!

Summary: This is a really good book.
Review: This book is from the movie "Sphere" and is written by Michael Crichton. In my point of view, I recommend that you read the book THEN watch the movie because I think that the book is better than the movie. The book comes more to the details than the movie itself. The book and the movie are not the same. Some of the parts in the book are different than that of the movie.

Summary: My favorite book!!
Review: Sphere is Michael Crichton's best book. I am 14 years old, and I loved it. Anybody at any age would adore this book. It is a fast-paced, and it is very interesting. Sphere is action-packed, and it has a lot of suspense in it. I couldn't put it down. In fact, I read it all in one night because I loved it so much! Everybody should read this book. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone. There is no other one like it.

Summary: Based on Shakespeare's Tempest?
Review: Actually, I have not read this book, but have seen the movie. Aside from that fact that the movie was unbelievably bad, as attested to by many of my fellow reviewers (wooden acting, ridiculous dialog, miscasting, etc), I was struck by one thing I haven't seen anyone else comment on. I'm referring to the similarity in plot to Shakespeares's "The Tempest." The idea that our deepest fears, desires and insecurities can seep from our unconscious, gain life and manifest in the "real" world, where they create startling consequences, is integral to both plots. In fact, this same plot has been used in other sci-fi films before, most notably in "Forbidden Planet" with Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis and Leslie Nielsen. Has anyone else out there noticed this?

Summary: Micheal Chriton's page turner might be his best ever.
Review: Micheal Crihton scores big with this one. It is a non stop action suspense novel. You literally cannot put it down. I read it in about 3 days. It's even possible to read this in 1 because the action is that absorbing. Don't judge the book by the movie, which was unbelievably terrible. You literally feel the terror of the terror of the characters in this book. Michael Chriton's imagination shines through and his writing style keeps you intrigued from cover to cover.

Summary: Very good book
Review: The book was very good. It had a lot of action in it and I liked it a lot. There was a lot of techinical stuff in it but it is real easy to understand if you like reading Crichton.

Summary: This is a remarkable book, with great story telling.
Review: This is my personal favorite. This book kept me up all night. It kept me on the edge of my seat and gave me chills at some point. I love everything he writes, but this one is the best of them all.
