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. (
