About this listen

 The Lost World is a novel by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Released in 1912, it tells the story of an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin where prehistoric animals still survive. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. The novel also describes a war between Native Americans and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

Scottish-born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a major innovator in the field of crime fiction. His other works include science-fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction.

Thrilling, well written and told. A wonderful old fashioned story of exploration and friendship. A must read.

Loved it

This tale of a hidden world is full of action with many mysteries. .Apparently first came out in the Strand Magazine and people were awaiting the next episode wondering what creatures or predicaments would our heroes meet next? His descriptions of the jungle are excellent and help build the tension before they even reach the lost world. Despite the age of the book and the language of the time, I found it a wonderful listen. And the narrator John Richmond really is excellent in bringing just the right atmosphere.

Wonderful Ripping Yarn!

What an absolutely fantastic tale. I have memories of both an audible and written but abridged versions when I was a dinosaur obsessed child. The full version is a fantastic tale of which I expected nothing less from Conan Doyle.

Let me add the reading was fantastic and very in keeping with the era of the novel.

Fantastic

Great story. Having listened to all the Holmes books, I found some of the dialogue a bit clunky in comparison. But, overall, the text was good enough to propel the plot.

Narration was disappointing, like a grandfather reluctantly reading to the grandkids - making a game attempt, but with fluffed lines, pauses in the wrong places and cartoonish character representations.

Well worth the two quid on discount, but there must be better versions out there

Can’t believe they didn’t get an Irish narrator when it’s so important to the book that the first-person protagonist is Irish.

Disappointed with choice of narrator

A great old classic, which has lost none of its excitement over the years. Beautifully narrated, one is taken back over a century to That time when exploration was in its infancy. I loved it.

charming.

No real surprises. Maybe not as logical as the average zoologist would expect but good fun.

pretty well what you would expect
