Summary: The worst is yet to come.
Review: The title of this book says it all, "SPHERE," one of the most intriguing books I have ever read. Taking the reader for an in depth experience of the underwater world. The characters in this story are sent to investigate a sphere said to be 300 hundred years old, an untouched spacecraft made before airplanes, where their world turns topsy turvy, lives are lost by a light, a mysterious breach into the minds of Homo sapiens that one day we may perfect, if we ever do. Just when things couldn't get worst the adventure just began.

Summary: Perfect
Review: For those of you who have seen the movie and dont like it. Read the book anyway. The concept is:In the south pacific or somewhere near it, a vessel is resting on the ocean floor. It has crash-landed in the ocean. A group of American scientists are then sent to investigate this vessel. That's all I can tell you. Michael's best. This was a real page-turner, and the ending was so suspense, I prayed that they were gonna make it. The scientific evidense is amazing. No problems with this book, it was superbly planned out. ENJOY!

Summary: Wow. . .just amazing.
Review: Micheal Crichton is possibly the best writer in the world. This book is amazing. I picked up a copy and wasn't able to put it down; managing to lose several hours of sleep and fail a geometry test. The setting, plot, and characters are some of the best in any novel. Sphere has a lot of great suspense, and it kept me guessing about things that would happen to the crew; only to be surprised with a shocking event. This is a MUST for any reader. Your not going to be able to put it down.

Summary: A keep-you-at -the-edge-of-your-seat heart-pumping thriller!
Review: Down in the depths of the southern Pacific Ocean, a gigantic spaceship is found, undamaged after a fall from the sky, which seems to be around three hundred years old. Immediatley, a crew is sent for, and dozens of peoples' lives will never be the same as they fight for survival in an underwater biodome against the power of the sphere. I loved "Sphere" by Michael Crichton. It has every element a classic suspense novel should have. I was fascinated by the excellent craftmanship of "Sphere". Along with every other thrilling thing in it, it has a twisted ending that will sent chills down your spine. This New York Times bestseller will keep you hooked into the wee hours of the morning, until the last page is turned!

Summary: It was really great until...
Review: I was enthralled by this book from the very beginning. Imagine, scientists discover an ancient spaceship at the bottom of the ocean only to discover it's true origin is a little closer to home.
I have loved every Chrichton novel and this one was no different, at first. The story was tense, thrilling and the very last chapter killed the entire book for me. I won't give it away but the conclusion felt like a huge rip-off. I know I wasn't the only one who felt this way.

Summary: Good story, but.....
Review: This was a good story, but it was getting long towards the middle. I wouldn't say it was predictable, but it was taking too long between incidents. I rarely felt like I had to keep reading... Several times I just wished it would end. I am an avid reader, so it takes a lot for me to not complete a book. This one was close. Oh well.... I still think Crichton is one of the best!

Summary: A great book
Review: Crichton has out done himself again. Five strangers are sent to an underwater habitat to investigate an unknown "alien" spaceship. The civilians of the group: Norman, Beth, Ted, and Harry, are very complex characters that are portrayed in a very simple way. While down in the habitat DH-8, they visit the spaceship. Inside, they find a perfectly polished sphere. Everybody in the group has an idea of what it is. Ted thinks that it is a trophy of some sort. Harry thinks that it was picked up on the travels of the ship, and Norman thinks that it is a door of somesort. During a routine day, the sphere opens, and that is when things go very wrong. The ending really tops off the book. Leaving the reader in shivers, the book ends the way that it ought to. Supspensful and very dangerous, this book is one of the best fiction novels I have ever read. Like all Crichton books, it leaves you wondering what if, and is very, very suspensful.

Summary: Non-Stop Reading!!!!
Review: I bought this book because of the title and the description it had. First I started reading it with no enthusiasm and read to page 20 aprox., another day I read a bit more because the book was getting more interesting with every page (I read to page 70 aprox.), then a third day I read to page 250 aprox. and ended reading that day because it was two hours past midnight. Then a fourth day I finished the whole book (371 pages). My conclusion is that the book will rise your hair and make you continue reading no matter the hour or how tired you are.
