Publisher's summary

Fifty years after Professor Challenger's discovery of the Lost World, America's last dinosaur circus has gone bankrupt, leaving a dozen avisaurs, centrosaurs, ankylosaurs, and one large raptor abandoned. Now a daring expedition plans to do the impossible: return the Jurassic giants to the wild. Two filmmakers, a circus trainer, a journalist, and a young Peter Belzoni must find a way to take the dinosaurs across oceans, continents, rivers, jungles, up a mountain that has been isolated for 70,000 years....

Then if they make it, all they'll have to do is face all the prehistoric wonders, dangers, and terrors of the Lost World.

Disappointing narrator

A favorite book, but a robotic narrator, terrible accents. and why an adult? point of view throughout is the teenage boy.

love this book!!!

this has got to be one of my most favorite books. I got it first in book form and was delighted to get it on audio. I listen to it probably two or three times a year. I love almost all of Greg Bear's works.

Disappointed

I thought this sounded fun, but it was oddly disappointing. I felt Bear couldn’t make up his mind whether it was for youngsters (in which case it had a few unnecessary things); or young adults (rather cliche elements); or adults (too slow in first half & rather poorly written). I bumped up the speed & it still seemed to drag. Made me wish I’d done Jurassic Park again instead.
