A review by majortomwaits
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
4.75
I first tried to read this some 10 years ago, maybe more, I made it to a 50 page mark and gave up.
However, since then, I watched Apocalypse Now a couple of times and I felt compelled to give the book another go. After all, it was described as the most linguistically rich book ever written, so why not?
It certainly did flow much smoother this time around and I did change my initial stance on it. Insanely beautifully written and vivid in its imagery. I'm happy that I gave it a second chance, because it was an interesting ride for sure.
