To-morrow (Abridged) Audiobook

" I could not stop reading this story until the un came up and I reached the last page. "

" Beautifully written--and Conrad's first language isn't even English! Amazing and gripping story. "

" A bit of a relic, a lot of the themes don't stand up today. You can't just run away to a uncharted territory in this day and age, but I still felt a lot of mysticism coming from Marlow's journey into the heart of the Congo. "

" This is a short book, but sometimes it can be difficult to read. It contains a lot of symbolism and is written in colonial era English. Regardless, I personally think it is a great book, which dwells into the evils of imperialism in Africa. But to fully enjoy the power of this book I believe it's a good idea to first read a little about the Congo Free State and King Leopold II of Belgium, just a quick introductory reading in Wikipedia. This is one of the darkest episodes of European imperialism, and with that context clear, its a lot easier to understand and enjoy Heart of Darkness. "

" This is the type of book I would have loved to have studied. Having only read it the once I feel like I've missed a lot, the type of information you only discover upon reading it for a second time, which is definitely a good thing. The overall feel of the title is one of desolation and despair, it captures the imagination so vigorously that you feel a slight loss once it is all over. "

" One of the most boring books I ever had to read in high school. "

" The prose is musical and vivid and kept the story alive and flowing "down the river". So much of the story was subtle and skimmed the surface, leaving me yearning for more depth and explaination. "

" Brutal, racist and quite good in some ways. Even so, this was the longest short book I have ever read. I'm so happy that's finished. "

" Read this in high school... I didn't get it... maybe I should try again... someday... "

" A strange tale to say the least. Good writing but I found the story very difficult to follow at times. "

" Kind of terrifying to read while in the Peace Corps in central Africa... "

" If I could give this negative stars, I would. Dozens of them. "

" "... we live as we dream, alone." "

" Liked the movie Apocalipse Now better "

" You have no idea how much I despised reading this book in English class. It was so intensely boring and I usually love classics. "

" This may be one of those books where no one was done any favors by my reading it as a teen. "

" To slow for my taste. I know the book is the base for Coppola's Apocalypse now, but it waste of time. "

" Amazing writing, but a very challenging read. This is the sort of book you need to read more than once to get the most out of it. A book that I will definitely revisit. "

" Man, I feel guilty giving one star to a classic, but this one just wasn't for me... "

" If you liked the way "Lord Jim" was told, you'll also enjoy this book. "
