Heart of Darkness was an absolutely horrible read. It was difficult to follow and it was a chore for me to get through. It didn't engage me emotionally and I come away from it with only the gist of colonial times and imperialism. The entire story was rather a dry sum of Marlow's travel to meet with Kurtz and his experience of the uncivilized and civilized world. This book probably impacted many people's thoughts back when it was written, but today there is absolutely no connection and enjoyment. Sorry Joseph Conrad. I'm sure your works were highly recognized.
