A review by mcloonejack
Sphere by Michael Crichton

3.0

Rating this a three is maybe a little unfair if only because this was the kind of mildly thrilling pulpy read I expected, but here we are.

There are some truly stunning moments and this, and the twists and turns toward the end are pretty fun, if predictable. The characters were in many ways annoying plus often stereotypical, but Crichton played with it enough to keep it from being too untenable.

If you like Crichton, you’ll probably at least find something to enjoy here. Good low-effort subway read.
