Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
(4,534 Sterne; 1004 Bewertungen)
The Lost World is a 1912 novel by Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau (native name is Tepuyes) in South America (Venezuela) where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. Interestingly, for a seminal work of dinosaur-related fiction, the reptiles only occupy a small portion of the narrative. Much more time is devoted to a war between early human hominids and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures. (summary by Wikipedia) (8 hr 0 min)

I enjoyed listening to this book. With that being said, the only issue that had bothered me was a constant changing of readers. I would like to see the same readers just for consistency.
Great Adventure

Fantastic story with lots of twists and turns. And all through the adventure that subtle vein of humor. Prof. Challenger - you are the man!! Listening to this narrative I realize how much more the author of the inimitable Sherlock Holmes has to offer!! Genius! And to top it all, amazing reading by all the readers with Scott Mather ( I hope I got the name right) standing out. Well done - and heartfelt thanks.
Excellent!

Great adventure and story! Easy to see its influence on literature since. Fairly well read, however the combination of different readers can make it distracting sometimes. Not a big deal though.

As stated above this was very enjoyable! Got into it so much that I listened to the last ten chapters in one a continuous session!! Many of these fine old stories are ageless and seem contemporary to this old 54 yr old. These readers all do a great job! Many thanks to those at LibriVox and espcially Mr Prelinger, who make all of this possible!

Excellent book and well read,only there is a glitch in chapter 13 where the content list describes approximately 30 minutes,however the story stops at a little past 6 minutes which leaves you just wondering at a vital part of the story. Four stars anyway.
excelent!!!

Tho I love Holms and Watson, still I feel Lost World may be Doyles best. I enjoyed it so much.
