The dialogue was lacking with a flippant, youthful approach which remained untroubled by death and disaster. The action part of the plot when it did finally arrive just felt like a queue of things that the author had researched being inflicted one after the other on the characters. The characters felt very two-dimensional and the make up of the team of friends very convenient. I feel sure that Beck's writing has been much better in the past.

I really liked the sound of that, old clues, jungle adventures, deadly dinosaurs, what could possibly go wrong with all that? Unfortunately while the idea was good the execution felt pretty average to me. What a great idea? Arthur Conan-Doyle's famous Lost World being based on real events and be there for one of his descendants to re-discover. That said, I still enjoyed it and look forward to what the sequels bring. It's never mentioned again after its initially brought up.

And you think that it's going to be a small side plot. As an example, one character is played up to be almost a romantic foil for the lead couple. Kind of making the setup earlier pointless. Some of the characters are set up for what seem like bigger plotlines later in the book, but are just killed off and/or hardly mentioned again. There's no real goal once they are in the Lost World so there's no story to keep your interest other than who will survive at the end of the book. They explore, get attacked, someone dies, explore, get attacked, someone dies, and the process repeats until they decide to try and leave. After they travel around the world getting the things they need for their prehistoric journey, the story just kind of drops. 'What if 'The Lost World' was based on real events?' The set up for the main adventure in the Lost World is honestly better than what happens once they arrive there.

If you are a fan of 70 and 80’s made for TV sci-fi action this will be in your sweet spot. It helped to play the audiobook at 1.25x speed to get more normal speech flow. In addition the narrator drags out things with a slow, ponderous delivery. I was somewhat surprised as they moved on each time, as if they did not retain trauma from what had happened. So as they run into trouble, I was only mildly interested in their plight. The characters are fairly predictable and are lightly drawn. The premise of the book is what if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Lost World was based on fact and not fiction? A descendant of a long-dead explorer, who purportedly was the source for the original story, discovers clues to the real truth, and along with several of his friends sets off to find out. This book passed the time and offered a blend of action and Sci-Fi, however, the characters and plot were a little shallow and I had trouble getting really hooked.
