If you're looking for something with a thorough buildup followed by a steep descent into madness, then this book is 10 billon percent for you.
However, my major gripe with the book is how the author wrote the female characters.
Anyways I found most of

If one can look past those and similar shortcomings, there is brilliance in the work. The vivid descriptions of movement and scenes, the blending of facts and fictitious science to sell a wholly believable concept out of the impossible. The grounded reactions and plausible heroism, the characters never feel larger than life, allowing the focus to remain on the interactions and to frenetically advance the story, with your heart and mind reaching for the next page with a sense of impending doom. But the thrill of the chase never grows too desperate leaving one time to reflect on the actions. There's very few paragraphs that cannot be fully dressed up in one's imagination, a feat so important to making the world feel so tangible, and that is the true genius of the book.
So strap in for a heck of a ride, even if you've seen the movie already, and welcome to Jurassic Park.
