A review by themadmadmadeline
Heart of Darkness and Other Tales by Joseph Conrad

3.0

Being completely honest, this book was very hard to grasp and understand at times. I enjoyed certain aspects of it, such as the beautiful imagery and earthly, dark quality of the novel. However, it's a pretty deep book, and I still don't completely understand the purpose of the novel.



I'm sure I'll probably read it again for sheer comprehension purposes. I would recommend the book on the grounds of being one of those sorts of books everyone should read, and it's particularly effective in high school. It isn't one of my personal favorites, and I had trouble digesting it, but I would say it's a quality novel.
