katemiller41 's review for:
The Lost World
by Arthur Conan Doyle
What started as a shallow, soppy love story, turns into a most impressive self exploration novels.
Mr. Malone is in love with a girl, and without taking any time to consider why, he decides to jump at a chance for a life threatening, ludicrous journey, simply because Gladys asked him to.
It doesn't take long for the lovely Gladys to take a backseat to the wild, dangerous, and unbelievable experiences which occur on this journey.
Malone, John Roxton, Professor Summerlee, and the lovably irritating Professor Challenger explore the "lost world" where discoveries in science are abundant, and the group of travelers must eventually overcome their differences to work together against a greater evil.
When Malone returns, he returns to the love of his life, but she is no longer available. In his absence she has married another, and to Malone's disappointment he is no man of adventure or romance that Gladys had desired Malone to be, he is a simple man.
Malone is driven by a shallow, and false, idea that should he win notoriety and fame, Gladys would be willing to attach herself to him, and said glory, for all eternity. What happens instead, is Malone is pushed to his limits, both mental and physical, and comes up a better man for it. He has grown out of the foolish ideas of romance that young men can hold, and has instead taken to the hard facts of science and first had exploration.
Arthur Conan Doyle is a colorful writer. While much of the book felt slow, and there was very little action, he describes the scenery and the characters with such detail that it is hard not to imagine traveling down the Amazon with the faithful Zambo, and the pipe-smoking Summerlee. One cannot help but to enjoy themselves diving into this beautiful world with vivid characters.
