First time I read it, I was struggling through all the way and really just gave up. The second time I still struggled but I appreciated it more. However, it is a dense read and is not for the faint-hearted.

Litt tung og til tider vanskelig å forstå
challenging reflective tense slow-paced
Loveable characters: No

This was my second attempt at reading heart of darkness and im actually surprised i pushed through to the end this time.   It feels slightly like it might not ever end.   Long-winded.

An interesting perspective on white colonism and Belgium's role 

Thought this was going to be an interesting critique of colonialism. Was actually just racist.
