toni_wyatt 's review for:

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
3.0

Chilling tale of a steamboat operator who is tasked with working for a company who is in the business of selling ivory and anything else they can strip from the bounty of Africa.

The jungle and darkness that pervades the steamboat gives you the chills. As does the danger that lurks around every bend in the river.

There are cannibals on the steamboat, and natives who attack.

It is a bit of a jumbled mess in places as the way the story is written (as being told by a narrator), it is hard to discern whether it is narrative or dialogue, and when it is dialogue, exactly who is speaking.

3 stars
