Summary: GOOD AND FAST PACED CRICHTON!!
Review: In a way, very typical crichton. A good plot but a lot of unanswered questions. If you have a good imagination you may like this book even better, but if you like neat tight fitting stories, sphere left me with a few questions. The book does make you think and does bring up some interesting points as most of crichton's book do. This should turn out to be a very good movie, there is no shortage of action, drama and tension.

Summary: If you enjoy Crichton, and can handle flat characters then..
Review: ... you have to read this! I never cared much for Crichton's flat characters but his stories and technical accuracy always kept me interested. This story is original and well written. This is one of the few books I read in one sitting... I just couldn't stop. Don't read this if you plan on seeing the movie, because after this book, the movie will not be able to even compare.

Summary: This is an amazing book, I strongly recommend it to any fans
Review: Michael Crichton does it again with this suspense thriller. If the screenplay is follows the book at all, I would definitely recommend seeing it, but don't forget, the best screenplay is still just a shadow of an amazing novel, so definitely read the book either way!

Summary: I T ROCKED ! ! ! !
Review: This book was awesome! I loved it, and I was only in the 5th grade when I read it (I'm 14 now). I mean, the 1st ten pages or so was kind of boring (just like any other book), but after that it was nonstop. It was unbelievable Iwas so incredibly hooked I finished it in three or four days or so. But I definitely reccomend this to anyone who is into science-fiction.

Summary: I'm only 15 and I read this book when I was 13 I loved it!
Review: I'm Only 15 and I have read this book when I was 13 I loved it!!! I'm going to read it again after I finsh Congo 4 the third time. I also read Jurassic Park, and the Lost World. I think Crichton is the BEST!!! I understand all that he talks about in all his books. Sphere is especaly a good book because it makes Us think a little more. I can't Wait till Febuary 13 1998 That is when the movie comes out!!! I hope A) it isn't cursed because it opens on a friday, and B) That I will get to see it, and C) It's as good as the book was. Well that is my revew

Summary: Over all this was not a good book
Review: I enjoy reading Mr. Crichton's work. He is an excellent story teller, but this book seemed rushed. He started off with a really good idea: Space ship from the future (American) found enbedding in a reef at the bottom of the ocean. No one was inside except for this sphere. Where did it come from? What does it do? Did it kill the crew? Where did the ship come from? Etc Very intriguing! Then it stopped. The concept concerning what the Sphere could do and how they fought against it was lame. It read as if Mr. Crichton had to hurry up and beat a deadline so he just wrote it and finished.

Summary: The human race isn't ready for the secret the sphere holds..
Review: 1,000 feet below the ocean, lies a spaceship. No one knows where it's from. Some people think it's from a different planet, some think its from the future, but wherever it's from, it contains a sphere. And the human race is not ready for that sphere, or the treacherous monsters that it causes. The last few pages are just amazing!
