Youth and Heart of Darkness (Abridged) Audiobook

" To be able to write like that... "

" I hate this book. A lot. Conrad's writing is so torturous having teeth pulled would be more fun than reading this book. "

" Kurtz....one of the best characters ever written, in my opinion, I love this book and it deserves it place among the classics. "

" I spoke of Shakespeare in an earlier review on being a difficult read to get into, but then you will get used to the language and the words will flow easier, but Joseph Conrad in my opinion is much more difficult to get used to. I first read his Lord Jim, recommended by an English teacher back in college and had the hardest time keeping up with action and the language, however it is an interesting experience, specially when you finally get used to this author you can see the genius behind his work. Still due to the fact the story was hard to follow for me I didn't care for it as much as I hoped I would. Maybe some day soon I need to give this book another chance. "

" I hated this book. I admit I didn't finish it. "

" The "inherit the wind" of its' genre. "

" Read it for freshman english at Dartmouth. A classic but not my favorite. "

" That moment of shame when you realize that English was Joseph Conrad's second language. I don't own a copy of Heart of Darkness that isn't scribbled with notes remarking on his genius. "

" damn this was worth reading again. "

" This book is a deceptively dense book. On my first two required readings of the book, I hated it. Upon my third required reading, it clicked and I absolutely loved it. I've revisited it often sense. "

" Technically interesting. Very dense. Excellent tho disturbing descriptions. Odd having an immense build up to meet the major object of the book only to have him die a few pages later. Many unanswered questions. "

" Now I have to watch Apocalypse Now again... "

" Whether I liked it or not, it has stayed with me a long time "

" just cannot get into it................. "

" A work worth tremendous literary value "

" This book reminds me of The Emperor's new Clothes. For me it is one of those books scholars tell you you need to read because it belongs to the canon. I have decided to create my own. I hated this book. "

" why did i not read this book before? "

" A classic...and a good one "

" Definitely told us about the humanity, the history of African and its colonialism of the European "

" Youth; Heart of Darkness; The End of the Tether (Penguin Classics) by Joseph Conrad (1995) "

" I have a different edition of this, but it contains the same stories (mostly). I have only read Youth, thus far. Youth was great. I look forward to reading the rest of the stories in the book. "

" I know that this is a classic, but I just found it boring. Just me I guess. "
