A review by carrot_xo
Sphere by Michael Crichton
4.0
4.5 stars.
Damn, this was a trippy novel. I watched the movie when I was little but it turns out that I don’t remember much.
This was very fast paced and I never really got bored as it always kept me on edge with new revelations throughout. I gotta say, this novel was written way ahead of its time- 35 years ahead of time to be exact. I’d probably believe it if someone said this was released in the last five years because it still felt super modern.
I liked how this was narrated in the pov of a psychologist with psychoanalysis being being a major part of the narration. I loved all the speculations and the science/psychology in the book.
0.5 stars less because of the prose. I don’t know how to say this but Michael Crichton is good at writing monologues on scientific theories yet sometimes the conversations between the characters or the interactions kinda felt off.
This is the kind of book where I’ll think about the scientific speculations mentioned for a long time to come.
Great concept, great execution- best read when you have an itch for techno mystery thrillers.
