nikkibee 's review for:

The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle

3.0

---

The lost world starts with a fairly typical plot. Boy likes girl, girl tells him he is boring and needs to have adventure in his soul to marry her and a chain of events is set off. Written at a time when the last corners of the map were being filled, the lost world is well written with a strong plot. The story itself was a little lackluster and I found myself disappointed by the lack of action in the book. The actions scenes are more descriptive than prose and the narrator quite often skims over them. I learned a few new words as well. So enjoyable but not necessarily recommended.
