<i>The Sphere</i> by Michael Crichton

I am fed up with Crichton. The plot lines are far too predictable: man escaptes everyday life to investigate some amazing new thing; something goes wrong; people die; time is spent figuring it out; more people die; problem is solved; es cape is made; everything is better---or is it?

Here the mystery was intriguing for a time---I was very curious about what the alien was saying ans was very disappointed to find out it wasn't really an alien speaking and they never really did figure everything out...plus, once everyone was trying to escape, the formula was far to obvious and I go really fed up with the book.

There is one more Crichton book I want to read---Andromada Strain---but I think I will have to wait quite some time before I'm ready to pick up another of his books.

3/10
