5.0 out of 5 stars
You must read this book !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heart of Darkness (MAXNotes Literature Guides) (Paperback)
As the sun sets the tale begins. English was notConrads native tongue which makes this towering masterpiece all the more amazing. Sadly nothing has changed since Kurtz ventured up the Congo - the indifferent slaughter goes on today.

2.0 out of 5 stars
A good story, but poorely written,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heart of Darkness (MAXNotes Literature Guides) (Paperback)
It's hard to get into because of the tediousness of the language and the time spent describing the sea and the boat. Conrad foreshadows this book into the ground.
