Summary: Maybe the Movie will be better
Review: Crighton misses an opportunity to add to the lore about first contact with aliens, through his flat, uninteresting characters. His initial premise about a possible alien ship sitting at the bottom of the ocean is exciting and the twist about it turning out to be a human ship from the future is great. Furthermore, his genius for plot is demonstrated by having the actual alien artifact the Sphere inside the ship. However, his characters were boring. I was hoping they would die. I liked how the Sphere effected them, but I could careless about the people. Hopefully, when this is made into a movie, the actors will be able to make more out of the characters than I did.

Summary: SPHERE keeps the underwater action at a breathless pace!
Review: SPHERE was a NEW YORK TIMES #1 bestseller, and that's not surprising! SPHERE is a book about an alien spacecraft. SPHERE is going to be made into a motion picture, but I don't see how it can be better than the sensational book. SPHERE has more of an Independence Day flair rather than E.T. but all around is a fun book to read

Summary: A compelling SciFi story without a Mega-dose of Technojargon
Review: "Sphere" may not have sparked the interest that "Jurasic Park" did, but in many ways I feel it was a more enjoyable book to read. The characters came to life for me, and the story didn't need quantum physics or "The Chaos Theory" to validate it. I'm looking forward to watching it on the big screen, hopefully it'll be a better representation then "Congo" had

Summary: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Sphere is an excellent choice if you're looking for page-turning, stay-up-all-night, can't-put-it-down reading. I liked the way that Crichton kept the suspense to the point at which you think that nothing else can possibly go wrong, and something else happens. What made this book so different from Chrichton's other works is the way he made us feel that we were right in the sub, working with the team. Another tool Crichton used was the power to twist the plot into so many unthinkably tight knots, that everything you had formerly experienced that day outside of reading the book seemed trivial compared to the possibilities that the book opened in your mind. This is truly a great book, and it should get the credit it deserves
