A review by scrob
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

5.0

This is a classic for all time. As an old man, Marlow recalls his journey into the depths of the Congo to relieve a rouge companyman of his post. ALong the way, he witnesses the lows and hollowness of colonialism and greed.

The jungle in this book, is a living, breathing embodiment of the darkness in man's soul. It will swallow you whole without blinking. Conrad's prose is challenging, memorable, and way ahead of it's time. If you have a hankering for classic literature and haven't yet read this masterpiece, do so asap. You won't be sorry.
