The Lost World

Experience one of the most popular adventure stories of all time with Conan Doyle's favorite fictional character, Professor George Edward Challenger. Challenger leads a four-man scientific expedition to an isolated South American region where, according to legend, dinosaurs and other Jurassic Era life forms still flourish. The intrepid scientists, eager to make historic discoveries, find themselves face to face with their own ancestors, threatening their pilgrimage and their lives. Written almost a century before Jurassic Park, Doyle's classic tale builds its suspense to a stunning climax, as we learn whether Challenger and his colleagues will make it out of The Lost World alive, and be able to reveal its secrets to the rest of the world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Arthur Conan Doyle's classic tale of adventure and discovery still excites the reader today just as dinosaurs continue to grip the popular imagination." (Oxford University Press)

well worth it

Would you consider the audio edition of The Lost World to be better than the print version?

This was very good. For the great low price it was the best value so far for me. I wish I could find more books this good and this cheap!

Excellent story and excellent narrator

Awesome story and very well told. The narrator does a great job with the voices and capturing the humor of the author. The sound quality is ok but not the highest. I could still hear it in the car, but on rough pavement it was more difficult to hear.

A must for dinosaur admirers!

Conan Doyle's portrait of a mysterious plateau where dinosaurs and "cave men" co-exist in isolation from the modern world is brought to life by a talented reader. Every character is clearly differentiated by a different vocal quality or accent and the narrator's description of the dinosaurs make it easy to picture them. I had skipped over this classic novel for years and I'm glad I finally caught up with it. Recommended.

When's the Movie Coming Out?

Any additional comments?

This was an interesting and enjoyable read, they need to make a movie out of it.
