hummuslover's review against another edition

3.0

reading heart of darkness and studying Yeats in high school made it so much more enriching as a reading experience, because from the The Second Coming poem in the beginning I could already foreshadow the end nearing.

however, I read this for university and it felt quite dense. maybe it was just my current mindset but I can recognise its impact and importance in literature.
