A review by theshonz0705
Heart of Darkness (Collins Classics) by Joseph Conrad
Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
This book is so miserably racist and slow. I remembered hating it in high school and thought maybe age will have made me more patient. But no. I know there are deeper themes to explore, but I just can’t bear reading 115 pages of observations on the “maddening” and “savage” country and it’s peoples from an unrepentant colonizer’s perspective. 0 out of 10. Will not read.
