The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle
4.0

No, not the atrocity by Michael Crichton, but the version by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. That’s right, I bet you didn’t know that the author of Sherlock Holmes had another hero he wrote many stories about, Professor George Challenger. This is about Professor Challenger finding a lost world of ape-men, savages, and living dinosaurs on top of a nearly inaccessible plateau in the jungles of South America. He is accompanied by Professor Summerly, a doubting colleague sent along by the zoological society to make sure Challengers doesn’t falsify his finds, Ned Malone an journalist who will document the expedition, and famed hunter Lord John Roxton.

The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is also a cheesy television show that I enjoy. Although the premise is the same, and the four main characters are in the show the stories are not at all the same.
