All put together it leads to a vague sense of the artificial permeating everything giving little that could immerse the listener in the grand adventure that the book promised. In addition, Sean Mangan, while he has a lovely rumble of a speaking voice doesn't have much in the way of character voice or dramatic effect to his performance. 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. In the remotest corners of the Venezuela, along winding river trails known only to lost tribes, and through near impenetrable jungle, Ben and his novice team find a forbidden place more terrifying and dangerous than anything they could ever have imagined. For Ben and his friends, it becomes a race against time and against ruthless rivals. But other parties now know about the notebook and will do anything to obtain it. As Ben digs some more, he finds clues to the whereabouts of a lost notebook that might contain a map to a place that is home to creatures that would rewrite everything known about history, biology and evolution.
