I don't even know what this was. The writing was good in spurts, but that's all the analysis I can muster.
Definitely understand why I didn’t like this in high school. The writing style is pretty dense and rarely comes up for air. That’s hard to enjoy if you aren’t “a reader” and are forced to read it. Even now I do confess it made me more sleepy than any other book in recent memory. That said, I actually kinda liked it. I also liked some of the painfully obvious annotations in my high school copy as well as the denser sections I clearly skimmed over because there’s not a single note.

A rather bleak story with no purpose. Its beauty lies in its description and writing, while the plot suffers from inattention.
I also was not a fan of Apocalypse now (extremely overrated film), a rendition of this work. It’s one of those reads that people will claim they enjoyed to sound like a more rounded reader when in reality it really is a jumbled bunch of nothingness with pretty words.

I kind of get what he was trying to do, but my God was it frustrating to read sometimes. 'Heart of darkness', 'heart of darkness', I GET IT. It was more fun to have a lecture about this than to actually read it.

Really difficult to understand and read. From what I could glean, it was an earnest criticism of colonialism, but with the racism and misogyny of 100 years ago. It was tough to get through as it was so confusing.
A book i had to read for school that I was constantly falling asleep through. I would have DNFd if I was reading this for fun. This book could have been 100 pages shorter and gotten the point across just as well. (its only 102 pages) I would feel bad for rating it a 1, but I didn’t like any of it and my opinion means very little so who cares?
I LOVE APOCALYPSE NOW !!!!!!! anthony bourdain and francis ford coppola convinced me to read this
