Sphere

Rating:
Summary: exciting, imaginative!
Review: I finished this book during a 13-hour flight from Chicaga to Tokyo. Frankly, this book didn't impress me very much at the beginning, but halfway through, I was hooked! The first part is a little boring, but from second part, it slowly builds up tension, and reaches climax and I was very impressed by Mr.Crichton's thorough knowledge of zoology and astronomy, and the descriptions of the fictional spaceship is plausible and imaginative.Unlike many others, I like the ending of the book. I think this book would have been a mediocre sci-fi novel if Mr.Crichton had conceived some alien creature in the sphere.

Summary: A really good book
Review: This book was definitely a page-turner. I wouldn't say that I couldn't put it down but I read every chance I got. This book is easy-to-understand and scary. It was the first book I had ever read that was over 300 pages and I wasn't dissapointed.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Lets get right to the point, this book should be read by every living person who is literate. Words can not describe the psychological depths I was plunged into while and after I read this book. I was unable to sleep at night during the duration of reading this splendid novel. I'm going to say this... this book had great heart-warming characters, unrelenting suspense and action and all of the warning signs of an all-nighter. I loved this book...PERIOD.

Summary: Skip the film adaptation--Barry Levinson failed
Review: Sphere was the first book I ever read. I was 14 years old, and I hated reading. Mr. Crichton changed me for the better, that is to say, my perspective of classic literature and main-stream fluff. I've read it twice over since, and it is still as captivating as it is resounding.

Summary: Sphere is a fast-paced, nonstop, edge of your seat book.
Review: Unlike some of Michael Crichton's books, Sphere gets to the point fast. As he depicts the scene, you feel immersed in the story, as if you're actually there. This could possibly be Michael Crichton's best book! There isn't a dull moment throughout. Instead of winding down to a dull ending, Crichton leaves you begging for more of the edge-of-your-seat action. All in all, this is probably the best book I've ever read.

Summary: One of the best reads ever!!!
Review: Ultimately one of the Top Three Books I've ever read!!! My number 2 pick! One being "Vampire Lestat" by Anne Rice and three being "Shibumi" by Trevannian. This book had it all! I have read it 6 times! It still keeps its charm! Can't wait for the movie to come out! Awesome book! I, as a 15 year old guy, recommend it!

Summary: Basically a good book, but it could've been better...
Review: SPHERE was a satisfying read. A delicious book. It could have been better. MC could have put so much more into it. Like, he could have made the sphere create some special alien, not just manifest the thoughts of those who entered it. "THE POWER" is kind of a stupid concept, but Crichton makes it what the book revolves around. He could have made more scenes in the ship, but overall this book was fairly good. Just not his best. If you want to read one of his that is very good READ THE LOST WORLD OR JURASSIC PARK, OR ANDROMEDA STRAIN!!
