I like how they said nigger a lot.

No, to be frank. I think I may have hated it. I'm trying to think of how to frame my dislike of this book without using the term bourgeois. The concept of darkness Conrad lays out is just so trite (even if the language he uses to get there is, I must admit, often really skillfully layed out): "oh noez we all so greedy look at how dark our heart is!" What bugs me is his criticism of imperialism comes not from the harm it did to natives (to whom he ascribes a subhuman quality), but from the trouble it causes one, single, once great european.

Shallow-ass fucking reading. The criticism of imperialism is just a surface dimension.

Heart of Darkness is amazing. That ending is intense.

The first time I read it, I got really bored after the first paragraph and found the Part III extremely interesting.

Upon rereading: It's all really interesting.

No. 2deep4me. I didn't like Apocalypse Now either. 2deep4mealso.

I liked Apocalypse Now. I actually thought the concept was quite interesting.

I liked Lord Jim better.
