the land that time forgot book summary
Hilariously fun!!! After experiencing many adventures at sea they finally reach an hidden continent, in which, as the name suggests, time seemed to have ceased. Although in the beginning there were a few difficult moments where it just seemed like the character had the worst luck in history. A second or third-grader would love this - there's non-stop action, and not much thought behind the world Burroughs created here, except as was driven by the thought "What would a second or third grader find exciting!? It was surreal and yet told in such a way that I was able to suspend my disbelief. These books can take me from 2 to 10 hours to create. This is actually the narrative of Bowen J. Tyler and his adventures and mis-adventures in the strange land of Caprona. "There were all sorts and conditions of horrible things; huge, hideous, grotesque monsters...I had perhaps the fraction of a second longer to live when I heard an angry growl behind us mingle with a cry of pain and rage from the giant..." Classic pulp fiction!
Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. The Land that Time Forgot: I really enjoyed this book. Mine is the 1924 Grosset & Dunlap edition, stained and worn with the cover half falling off; not the Commemorative Edition shown here. The Caspak trilogy is a wonderful work by Edgar Rice Burroughs comprised of three short novels, all set on an unforgettable island called Caprona, also known as Caspak. This is the lost continent of Caspak, a hot, dark and mysterious prehistoric world located somewhere in the icy waters of the Antarctic. GREAT book, incredible story, and very fast/enthralling. really a 3.5 for me. For instance, in "Land", a man tells us about how he found a message in a bottle. Though this rating is low compared to what I normally like to read or listen to, The Land That Time Forgot and its two sister novels are part of a dying genre of books that largely fascinate me to no end, and honestly to me mimics the sad truth of a dying interest in the mysteries of our planet and nearby solar system. I'm wondering now if I have accidentally read an abridged version? I like the way that it is narrated, there is no dramatic irony, you learn things about the land at the same time as the narrator, Bowen, does.

This was the first book of his I read. This was nice, it encouraged curiosity and wonder and a feeling of camaraderie with Bowen. His creations are the stuff dreams are made of--if you're lucky and have awesome dreams. That being said, it did serve a purpose and get us to this lost world. Even the timeline towards the end seemed a little dubious. Sabotage to the navigation equipment sends the U-33 astray into the South Atlantic. I like the strange worldview of the people who live there (a strange concept of the stages of life and evolution) and I'm sure that this will be developed in the following books? He is rescued by a British tugboat with another survivor, Lys La Rue. Although the characters struggle to become two dimensional, the pacing, action and ideas drive this book and make it hard to put down. I had planned to read one book in this series one at a time with things in between but Burroughs is such a damn engaging storyteller that once I built up momentum in book 1, well, book 2 was just sitting there. In this lush and prolific land there are dinosaurs, apes and other Neanderthals in different stages of evolution.
