Haha! That seals it, we have nothing in common! :p
I thought Sphere was just amazing, and thought Jurassic Park was meh. Sphere was much deeper, and philosophical. Did you mean the books or the movies, because I am talking about the books.
Did anybody else notice that mathematicians were always very highly regarded in his books?
RIP sir. You have greatly entertained me over the years, and I thank you for it.

Sphere was way too deep for my liking...
The Jurassic books were much better than the movies. The sequals anyway...

agreed.
I enjoyed Sphere. Andromeda Strain was probably my favourite though. His attention to detail and the research that went into his writing were incredible.
