Incredibly Complex and well written
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Wow! This is all I have to day about Heart of Darkness. My three friends and I are all reading it right now and we have to present an English Seminar on it. We are examining the connections between this and Apocalypse Now, Francis Coppola. Once again, if you consider yourself to be intellectual, read this book.
Powerful ideas and meaning

This book will not be exciting the first time you read it. Expect to be bored and maybe confused but read it again to see the meaning. If you understand the ideas expressed in this book you will change your way of thinking. Hopefully you will not get it and will throw this book away, "When you have to attend to things of that sort, to the mere incidents of the surface, the reality-the reality, I tell you-fades. The inner truth is hidden-luckily, luckily".Ryan a mere high school student
Great the second time around!

I had to read Heart of Darkness and write a research paper on it, and you know when a teacher assigns you and book to read you never enjoy it unless you read it on your own. While writing the research paper I hated it and everything about it, then about two years later I read it again, and this time found out everything I missed with my bad attitude. The depths that Conrad explores are unbelievable! This is were the evil nature of man egsists. After reading it a second time, I realized that the research paper that I wrote SUCKED big time.
Great!

This book was terrible when I read it the first time. It seemed to drag on and on. I had to rush through it for a class I was taking. Later, I found the time to read it at my own pace and I found it quite enjoyable. Give this book another chance! Expect to be bored the first time you read it, then read it again for meaning.
very good
