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)

Great Adventure


(5 stars)

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 and enjoyable


(4 stars)

I greatly enjoyed listening to The Lost World for the first time. the book has a lot of personality in the different characters. I think that having different authors read each chapter helped keep it interesting to a certain degree. one of the chapters was quiet. it was so quiet that I had to keep the phone by my ear just so that I could hear the reader. with the exception of that I have no complaints

Good read

This was my first book on LibriVox. Though I enjoyed the book itself it was very aggravating having to switch readers. Consistency’s something that would have definitely made the book better. There was one reader who only read one chapter but she nearly had me delete the book unfinished. She was very hard to listen too and nearly ruined the entire thing. Anyhow, I now know to only search for books that offer 1 reader.

great story!

5/5 for the story, couldnt stop listening i was so enthralled! Scott Mather in particular was an excellent reader with varied character voices. Few mispronounced words in ch10 and an editing miss in ch15. i do like the solo reader books best for continuity though, the other version of the lost world on librivox was good in this regard. still very much enjoyed this read, thank you 😊

outstanding!

Well worth every minute! I owned this book as a child. Alas, it was sadly 60 years before I finally availed myself of the pleasure of this fine adventure tale via LibriVox. For those who are not addicted to breakneck action on every page, but can appreciate a well-paced story, I encourage you to sit back and enjoy.

Enthrawling story a brilliantly illustrated with words. The only element that aged the story was its lack of political correctness.


(4.5 stars)

very well read novel no added drama by narrator just simply read.... some Libervox volunteers really think their adding to the author's published work by adding their own VOICE DRAMA. (Gregg Margarite) use your creativity to write your own novel put all the damn drama you want in it then. So thanks Libervox and volunteers Just read the words leave it to author and listeners to apply either pen or ear drama. and save Drama Queen for personal life PLEASE. THANKS AGAIN

great reading ok story


(3 stars)

All the readers in this talking book did a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed it. the story though it has the missing piece of how Apes turn into people. if you like that sort of thing then I would highly recommend
