The Poison Belt Audiobook

" I'm not sure I caught the point of this book - the ending made Prof. Challenger's experiment absolutely unnecessary. That's all I'm saying or else I'd have spoilers. :) "

" This isn't so bad, but it isn't another Lost World, and it does stretch my credulity at times. "

" Despite the low rating I gave, I really enjoy reading books like this. Doyle loves characters like Holmes and Challenger, incredibly smart and insightful and always eccentric, and I gravitate to them. I like the ethereal premise of the disaster, but would have liked more explication and exploration during the 28 hours they were alone in the world. I mean, imagine the opportunity of being one of just a handful of humans in the entire country, if not the world! So much potential here, just not fully fleshed out. "

" A very interesting book about the end of the world. Very reflective and somber. Not the catastrophic end, not violent, but an end, in which the characters are forced to be very intropective. Enjoyed very much "

" Excellent sequel! "

" It's an interesting book to say the least. Brilliantly written as always. I think that humanity does need a jolt just like the one described in the book to shake us from our everyday lethargy. "

" Only for fans of Victorian SF "

" weird book about the end of the world happening due to the world passing through a poisonous belt of ether in the universe. Everyone dies, but 4 people, but then a day later everyone wakes up. Just a little odd. "

" Interesting,...if a bit predictable. "

" While this was a well written story (we shan't expect less) it isn't entirely memorable. It was entertaining. Just not quite up to The Lost World level. Very quick read though. "

" I loved it...until the happy ending. I understand the rationale behind it, but personally, I felt it flawed something that could have been much better. "

" The first sentence is wonderful and kind of sets the tone for the whole book. This edition is dated 1913. It an interesting snapshot of the British Empire, via a sci fi yarn in the pre-quantum-mechanics, pre-space-flight age. "

" Very short, unfortunately, so perhaps for this reason it was not quite as enjoyable as the first Challenger story. "

" A great read. The next adventure of Professor Challenger and Co. following The Lost World. The world has stood still and the guys are the only ones alive with an extra old lady. Cylinders of oxygen are their only life source. "

" A follow up to The Lost World. Not quite as good though. Listened on librivox. "

" This isn't so bad, but it isn't another <em>Lost World</em>, and it does stretch my credulity at times. "

" Doyle presciently saw that earth would pass through a poisonous belt of ether, <strong>perhaps</strong> killing nearly all mankind. Documented by the incomparable William Pène du Bois's ink drawings. "

" A great &amp; marvellous work by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. <br/>professor challenger , a scientist &amp; explorer who is a great creation by the author him self. <br/>a must read book by the sci fi &amp; adventure lover. <br/>best regards <br/>tusher "
