The least developed character is possibly Malone. While some of them may be a little cliché now you can sort of forgive that remembering when it was written. They may sound a little stuck up and middleclass. He sets off with a colourful cast of characters: Professor Challenger, Professor Summerlee, and Lord John Roxton. The story follows Edward Malone, a journalist and our protagonist, who goes on an adventure to impress his sweetheart. So did I like it? I did! Now, I hate it in reviews where people say right at the start what the verdict is, but I can’t help but say, I did actually enjoy this. So, a conquered my fears and took a step onto the mysterious plateau that is classic literature. I feel I should read it, but I always worry it’s going to be full of old-fashioned words and sentences I won’t understand and that’d make it a really excruciating read. I chose this book, firstly because it was free (yay freestuff!) and secondly because I’m always a little scared of this sort of stuff. The Lost World wasn’t as successful as Sherlock Holmes, but it did inspire a TV series The Lost World in 1999. Arthur Conan Doyle, of course, is well known for Sherlock Holmes. For this review, I reached back in the past and plucked out this piece of classic literature: The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
