The Lost World | Book Review

[@alex_unabridged]

Now this definitely sounds like my kind of classic! Great video Fred 🙂

[@ReadbyFred]

Thanks Alex, this was a great read 📚 😀

[@thatdudereads]

Now there's a tip. I've never thought about going on a dinosaur expedition to impress a girl lol😁🤣. Great review Fred!

[@ReadbyFred]

The best was when he got back to Gladys. Doyle does know how to write twists :)

Hi I'm here from ABookOlive's shoutout video! Great video! Added to my Want to Read

[@ReadbyFred]

Welcome Penny, Olive is awesome! I hope you enjoyed this video :)

This is my all time favourite novel. The greatest achievement in all literature. It consistently warms my heart to see another so enchanted by its majesty and charm.

[@ReadbyFred]

I thought this was an enjoyable read as well. So much fun :)

[@peterthebooklover9375]

I read this book as well and I agree that is a great novel. I had fun reading it as well. You did a great job reviewing it.

[@ReadbyFred]

Thanks Peter! Yup, I really enjoyed this book :)

[@EntertheBook]

This definitely sounds like one I’d like to read. The Frozen Deep meets Jurassic Park 😊Thanks for sharing.

[@ReadbyFred]

Let me know your thoughts if you do pick it up 😀

[@joshuacaleau2328]

Thank you for bringing attention to this criminally forgotten classic

[@ReadbyFred]

The Lost World was a fun adventure :)

[@BookBlather]

Still need to read this one. Can’t go wrong with this kind of plot.

[@ReadbyFred]

It was a great read. 👍

[@krisreviews]

Great review! I didn't even know he wrote this book 🤗

[@ReadbyFred]

Thanks Kris. This was a fun read :)

[@TheBookclectic]

I read this sometime in the 90s and loved it, but I don't remember much of it. I'm currently on a dinosaur kick, so I'll probably reread it!

[@ReadbyFred]

I enjoyed it. A dinosaur kick? You'll have to post what you're reading soon :)

[@TheBookclectic]

@@ReadbyFred I will be! ❤

[@Eldertalk]

Sounds like a novel I'd like to read!

[@ReadbyFred]

I enjoyed it. Full on adventures 😀

[@BookishChas]

This sounds interesting. I knew Doyle had written other things, but I’ve never read anything besides Sherlock.

[@ReadbyFred]

That's funny because I was the opposite. I knew he had written The Lost World (because I had watched the show), but I didn't know until last year that he had also written Sherlock Holmes. :)

Hi Fred! Just subscribed to your channel. I've never read TLW but love Conan Doyle and especially that whole Golden Era turn of the century adventure writing as the Victorian era/gilded age was ending and the shadow of the Great War with its fear of the alien/other and mechanization was looming on the horizon. Also enjoy The Lost City of Z. PS. None of my business but wondering if you might hail from Canada. I went to U of T and I'm wondering if you're from the great north. Cheers.

[@ReadbyFred]

Oh wow, I just looked up Lost City of Z by David Grann - I'm going to have to read that this year! Yup, I'm Canadian and, though we've gotten a lot of snow, have been quite happy that we haven't gotten a lot of cold winter days. I'm hoping it's going to be an early Spring :)

[@melissamybubbles6139]

Wasn't this a wild period? Doyle wasn't even a full century removed from Jefferson, who thought there could still be mammoths lurking in the great plains.

[@ReadbyFred]

Mammoths lurking in the great plains? Wow, the wild period is right. I'll need to pick up the Lost City of Z (Grann) that documents Percy Fawcett's ill fated 1925 adventure to the Amazon looking for that fabled city.

[@bookofdust]

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, despite his academic background, was a firm believer in spiritualism and even good friend Harry Houdini who continually exposed them as frauds couldn’t convince him otherwise.

[@ReadbyFred]

I read that too. Spiritualism was big during the late 19th and early 20th century so I'm not surprised he was a believer. I have a number of Agatha Christie stories on spiritualism that I plan on reading for March Mystery Madness - I'll be doing a TBR hopefully soon :)

In a moment of hilarious irony, one of the “hey, watch these too” thumbnails as I watch this is for Mia Mulder on “Is masculinity in crisis?”. Challenger would say not. :)

[@ReadbyFred]

Hah! Challenger was awesome in this book! If you pick it up, wait until you get to where they meet the "ape-men" - hilarious :)

[@MriInterocitor]

@@ReadbyFred Oh yes. Read it and loved it back when.
