About this listen
Here is the precursor to Jurassic Park. Victorian explorers have heard there is a remote plateau where dinosaurs still survive, and a group set outs on a dangerous mission to find out more about it.

The creator of Sherlock Holmes delivers a classic adventure fantasy in this tale of a trip by journalists, scientists, and adventurers to investigate rumors of dinosaurs on a mysterious plateau deep in a mythical South American jungle. Much fun and over-the-top adventure ensue. The author is ably supported by Glenn McCready, who delivers a narration very much in the nineteenth-century style. He plays up the characters' big personalities and celebrates the rather orotund style of the writing, which isn't as tight as in the Holmes series. Not for modern-fiction-only readers, this collection will appeal most to lovers of nineteenth-century literature.

One of my all time favorites
I've read this book in Spanish, in English, twice and now I get to hear this really immersive voice acting. Wonderful.

A Classic adventure of discovery and exploration.
Where does The Lost World rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
While not as 'real' and well loved as ACD Sherlock Homes stories, this is certainly a book I will listen to again, in the same vein as King Solomons Mines.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Narrator/ correspondent Edward Malone, through whose observations, thoughts and insights we experience the whole adventure, not a typical hero, but a passenger carried along in the misguided interest and of love and devotion.
Any additional comments?
To enjoy this book you have to remember and understand the age in which it was written. This version is not edited so if you cannot abide narrative which by todays standards might at times be considered politically incorrect, then don't bother with it , but it would be your loss.
