Review of The Forzadol Exeriment
Posted: 21 Jun 2021, 04:54
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Forzadol Exeriment" by Lars Jansen.]
The Forzadol Experiment by Lars Jansen introduces readers to a prominent genetic scientist named Dr. Steven Arnett. Celebrated and honored by his peers in the industry, he was a trailblazer of note. As a child, he was diagnosed with Noonan’s Syndrome as his physical growth and development were not on the same level as his age mates. Individuals who had the syndrome had lingering learning disabilities, but that was not the case for Dr. Arnett. He developed a growth hormone that would see his physical appearance match that of his age mates.
Unhappy with his physical condition, Dr. Arnett developed a treatment that would speed up his physical growth. Armed with the knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment, he developed a groundbreaking version of the Human Growth Hormone. The development was ready for clinical trials, and Dr. Arnett approached Big Pharma. He soon realized that Big Pharma was unscrupulous in its dealings. The doctor also found himself in a sticky predicament that placed him on the FBI’s radar. His legal woes threatened to delay him from getting his HGH approved by the FDA. He evaded the FBI and took matters into his own hands. What followed from that decision changed the course of his life and that of his family.
From the prelude to the end of the book, I was captured and captivated. I experienced a wave of emotions as the characters went through various challenges. The characters were well developed and contributed meaningfully to the storyline.
The book contains 32 brief chapters. Each chapter has a heading that gives a glimpse of what is to unfold. While the language used in the book is mostly clean, there are instances of minor profanity.
There were several positive aspects to this book. The one that stood out for me was the strong family values displayed in the Arnett household. Although the children had different interests, they had a strong sense of family and supported each other. The only negative aspect of the story was the explicit and gruesome details surrounding Dr. Arnett’s hunting expeditions.
I came across several errors throughout the book. They ranged from punctuation errors, typographical and grammatical errors. Although these errors did not negatively affect my reading experience, they were unmissable.
The book was educational as it sheds light on the importance of ethics in science. It also shines a light on blended families and the importance of cultivating positive family values. For these reasons, I am awarding the book a rating of 3 out of 4 stars. I am withholding one star because of the errors mentioned earlier.
This book will appeal to science fiction lovers who are interested in scientific experiments and laboratory work. Readers who wish to learn about the various stages that products undergo before approval by the FDA will find this book insightful.
