Almayer’s Folly: A Story of an Eastern River Audiobook

" Almayer's live on the Malay archipelago. The only white man. "

" The characters were more real than in "Heart of Darkness" and "The Lagoon". "

" Enjoyed! Much better than Heart of Darkness. "

" Generally considered a minor work, I think in some ways it jsut made it on to my my book shelf at the right time for my to appreciate Conrad's style. "

" I thought this was much better than Lord Jim, which I never could finish. I love Conrad's poetic style. I am always amazed that he wrote such lyric prose, considering that English was his third language. This story is a great sultry south seas novel, and I usually hate anything with this setting. "

" I have read this one several times. I really admire it. Conrad is probably my favourite author and this is my favourite book. It's not a perfect book but it has a pulse and passion. I always feel connected to the current of life whenever I read anything by Conrad and I feel it most strongly here. "

" Fantastic! Conrad's first novel has some amazing passages weaving the human psyche in unison with the dynamics of the surrounding nature. A pleasure to read. "

" About as fine a first novel as I've ever read. "

" Conrad's first published novel anticipates Heart Of Darkness, with a similar tale set in dutch Borneo. Marvellously atmospheric and without victorian verbosity. Pack this in your bag if you're off to S E Asia. "

" i love his sentences but i couldn t follow the story. "

" Early Conrad, before he became modernist and interesting. So it reads like a boys own adventure story. Still, interesting enoughfor Conrad nerds (like me!) "

" Conrad's first, and possibly weakest, effort. Still a thought-provoking read, though. "

" Conrad's first and well worth the time. Don't let my three-star review scare you away. This just allows for the four- and, yes, five-star reviews that some of his more mature works deserve. This was my second time through Almayer and I enjoyed it a good bit more this time 'round. "

" Oh, white people. When will you learn to leave other cultures alone? "

" I know, I know, I should really give it 4 stars because it's not Conrad's best, but for some reason I can't. I really liked this one. "
