  My late dad once had an opportunity to work at Crichton's estate in the 90s (phone service repairman). He was also a huge fan of Crichton's work and got to meet him while he was there, telling him that he particularly loved the ending to Sphere and was impressed how he came up with it. According to him Crichton's response was very humble, explaining that he had a great literary team around him that helped hone the story as well as the ending to what it became. Always seemed like a really great and intelligent person, as well as a phenomenal author!

  The last time I read Sphere was when I was in grade school in the 90s. I just reread it a few months ago in just 2 days. It still holds up very well!

  Excellent review that sells the book well. Good to know that the characters are well fleshed out. I have been preparing my wife to read a Crichton with me so we can talk about it and exchange opinions. We are about to finish the liveship trader trilogy by Hobbs and this could be our next book!

  I loved it. Such an imagination Chricton has, that blows my mind. And I enjoyed all the puzzle solving.

  He&apos;s my fav author of all time, this book was really really terrifying to read.<br>If among us was a horror novel.

  I loved it. Found it on one of these shelves with books to take home for free. Amazing concept, I was blown away. And the conversations between scientists that you&apos;ve mentioned are just incredible. Like: what would aliens look like, what would be the problems etc. I really like that the main character was a psychologist and that he analysed everybody&apos;s behaviour all the time. Great book.

  I had so much fun with this book. If Congo was the book that kept me on the Crichton readalong, then this book made me excited to read. I devoured this book. The last half had me on the edge of my seat and that ending though…

  Mike, the reason I never read Crichton is because I saw Sphere and Congo and those movies dont intrigue me enough to want to read the books. &nbsp;Jurassic Park was good but Im not as crazy about dinos as other ppl. &nbsp;But after your enthusiastic reviews, I &nbsp;will give Sphere and Congo a read!

  This is an amazing book and I highly recommend the movie adaptation as well, it&apos;s very good, especially the score by Elliot Goldenthal.
