The Lost World (***+)
Professor Challenger, brilliant but egotistical and eccentric and constantly at odds with the scientific establishment, leads a rather ramshackle team on a great adventure. In the depths of the Amazonian jungle they come to a giant plateau cut off from the rest of the world for millions of years. They find prehistoric monsters, primitive tribes, trials and tribulations and many adventures before making their escape. They return in triumph to civilisation (or, London in this case) before a sting in the tail is revealed.

The writing is, of course, of its time, but reveals a writer operating at a high level of skill. The pacing, narrative and characters are all drawn efficiently and quickly with very little baggage (at least, by the standards of the times). The book certainly draws the reader in and makes for page-turning excitement. There is, perhaps, a little taint of a buy-the-numbers, roll-another-one-off-the-line, formulaic structure, but the adventure and derring-do make up for that. ( )

My copy was a present from my favorite uncle at age 15. I am 42 now. This is one of the books that just make me go wow and want to read anything in site. Holmes and Watson are one of the best partnerships in literature. In these complete original stories much more of a team than in other media. Yes the mysteries are also logical and fun. ( )

I was disappointed by the selection. I was hoping for some of his 'Challenger' works. It had a reasonable selection of Sherlock Holmes, the historical Romances (i.e., "The White Company"), and a good number of other stories. ( )

Doyle's Sherlock Holmes may not be the greatest mysteries ever, but they're certainly among the best know and the most fun. As mysteries, they hold up well a hundred years later - people still enjoy being fooled a little bit. As late Victorian / Edwardian writing, they're superb in offering us a glimpse into the world of England's respectable classes caught with the hands in the cookie jar, or biscuit tin? ( )
