Reviews

[Alysa Farrell]

Fantastic telling of the Lost World!

[Kristen]

Lovely acting and a fun little story.

This is my first dramatic audiobook experience and I enjoyed it. Imagine back when radio performances were the closest thing to catching a live show on TV and this is what you will have here.

This version tells the abridged version of the "Lost World" classic and it certainly feels short. Compared to today's standards, this has a very cheesy and cliche plot but good nevertheless. Nothing really stood out about this, I will say it was the most entertaining audiobook I've heard though.

found this at a yard sale many many years ago, really enjoyed it, and it's on cassette!
