Summary: Best of Crichton
Review: This is definatly Crichton's best. I first got it thinking about the movie but its the best because its NEVER slow.. even when he gets into the usual "crichton science" lectures its very interesting.. especially the time space chapter. This book comes down to one word at the end: imagination..which comes along with power. GET THIS BOOK NOW!!!!!!!!!! you WONT regret it

Summary: One of Crichton's best.
Review: An alien spaceship is discovered on the floor of the ocean. But... it's not an alien spaceship -- it's an American spaceship. From the future. Except... that doesn't seem to make sense. And there's no trace of the crew, or explanation of what happened to them. No record of the purpose of their mission, or why it seemed to be shortened (there were huge amounts of foodstuffs left over), or where the ship's mysterious cargo came from, or why it traveled back in time... the questions go on and on, and I believe Crichton made an excellent choice in not providing answers to all of them.As others have pointed out, the ending was quite a twist -- one that I did not at all see coming.

Summary: Excellent Finish
Review: This is an interesting book, it will take you a while to read it because is not an easy book, but it will keep you reading, the way it explains the basic things of what is a Black Hole in space and other scientific things is as easy as it can be.
Of course this is a Sci Fi book, but the way it ends maybe will make you think that could be real, why not? At first they think that the sphere is from outer space, but when they explain that if Leonardo Da Vinci would see a TV he would think of magic, he would never know how it works, that make you thing.
This is one book that will make think things that you think you were sure of them.

Summary: Makes You Wonder
Review: This was my first Michael Crichton novel and I am impressed. I have seen the movies which most probably fall short of his vision for the page. I remember watching Sphere and remember thinking that it was ok but the book was great. It was hard to put it down. He has an ability to keep you guessing, complex stories that are interesting and educational. What I like most of all was amount of academic information he gives to the reader about explaining what is happening. Some writers will apply certain ideas to develop their stories but lack the amount of knowledge to make it believable. Michael Crichton has both the knowledge and ability to put it into a story and not turn a novel into a textbook. He does lack some development of character which is made up in the story. Now I know why most of all his books have become major motion pictures. I am now reading Timeline and have a hard time putting it down.

Summary: My Favorite book and writer!!!! The movie ...
Review: This is my favorite book. This book was the first book of Michel Crichton I ever read and ever since his books have been he best. Like all his books you read a great adventure, while having it backed up by true facts. Therefor making it a realistic story, making it the more thrilling and scary. Read it even if you dont like Sci-fi. I didn't and i still dont, i ony like his. There is knowone better. No book better. Oh yeah, I have read it 3 times and working on my forth.

Summary: Best book I have every read!
Review: This book is magnificint, a real page turner. I was too young when I watched the movie to remember much of it. However, I can't imagine how it could even begin to compare with the book. A big salute to Michael Crichton. I am definitly excited about reading more of his books. * A note to other readers and movie goers: It is NOT a big coninsidence that his excellent books become classic movies.

Summary: Read the book, Avoid the movie
Review: This is one fantastic read. The pages fly by and before you know it the day is over and so is the book. Sphere owes more than a little to 2001: a space odyssey and even a bit to Jules Verne but its all Crichton. In Sphere Crichton weaves a mammoth tale on the power of the human mind its just unfortunate such a horrible movie was made from the novel. Of all Crichton's stuff, Sphere is still my favorite.
