The Lost World is a novel by Aurthur Conan Doyle.
Review
Good
- The idea of a lost glade in which long-since extinct species still live is a wonderful idea.
- Professor George Edward Challenger is hilariously condescending to everyone.
Bad
- The writing style of correspondences being written and read later adds to the realism factor, but takes away a lot of suspense.
Ugly
- A fair amount of the book is racist and sexist implying that Irish people are a particular way and that proper women should not be slightly afraid of their husbands, and that black people are intrinsically dumb, "savages" naturally prostrate themselves before their white superiors.
- The characters are all quite thrilled and proud of themselves after committing genocide.
