“Ingenious and beguiling.” - Time

“Crichton keeps us guessing at every turn in his best work since The Andromeda Strain.” - Los Angeles Times

“Sphere may be Crichton’s best novel, but even if it ranked only second or third, it would be a must for suspense fans.” - Miami Herald

A classic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Crichton, Sphere is a bravura demonstration of what he does better than anyone: riveting storytelling that combines frighteningly plausible, cutting-edge science and technology with pulse-pounding action and serious chills. The gripping story of a group of American scientists sent to the ocean floor to investigate an alien ship, only to confront a terrifying discovery that defies imagination, Sphere is Crichton prime - truly masterful fiction from the ingenious mind that brought us Prey, State of Fear, and Jurassic Park.

Sphere was made into a film directed by Barry Levinson, which starred Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, and Samuel L. Jackson.

This story mixes elements of adventure, mystery and existential questioning through the mind of a psychologist in a claustrophobic atmosphere stuck with cartesian scientists. The story is quite interesting in its ideas, but some huge development flaws lead me to lower my rating.
On the other hand the performance of the reader was astounding. The characters were different and coherent, the timing was perfect, the intonation gave life to the story and some ideas of the actor were very wise (I'm thinking about the voice of Jerry).

A gripping story acted brilliantly
