The author says in the dedication (I love reading dedications) that this isn't to be taken too seriously - it's a pop song of a novel that puts a smile on your face. And I agree wholeheartedly.

This book reads like a movie, and should probably become one for our collective sanity. It's basically "Jurassic park during covid and make it funny" and something about it just works. My little scientist heart also loved the constant "wait, does everyone here have a PhD?? But they're also very casual and want to party?" and the sense of being immersed in a big project that reminded me of some mad grad school days.

Believe the hype, don't read the spoilers, and enjoy the ride.

Recommended even if you're not into Kaiju/godzilla stories but definitely if you are.
