Heart of Darkness | Joseph Conrad

Another school read! I haven't had much time to read leisurely ☹️ but anyways! Conrad's renowned book was pretty alright. His writing style takes some time to get used to, which is why I didn't understand a lot of part 1, but parts 2 & 3 were incredibly interesting. I read this in a kind of Freudian/psychological perspective, and that made it much more interesting since Marlow's journey was not only though the Congo but through the mind.

Great book! Part 1 was a little dull, but the court case in part 2 was incredibly interesting. Definitely will reread this one in the future 👍 #schoolreads

The Godfather is one of my all-time favorite novels, so I can't wait to read more about Michael in The Sicilian.

priyafsr It is a good read and made me a live through the Sicilian streets as I read it.. Felt a slow paced book.. but the climax went off in like a flash.. Cant believe it.. Love Mario Puzo 8y

Definitely not what I expected, which isn't bad. Beckett's play captures the feelings of the time period well. However, some parts were too repetitive and felt unnecessary; it angered me to read at times. All in all, a decent ONE-TIME read. #schoolreads

Amazing story, the best book I've read in a while! It's a heartfelt story of adolescence, love and self-discovery. This one had me tearing up a couple times. Overall, fantastic read, I would recommend it to anyone, especially LGBT+ youth. It stands outside your traditional YA contemporary. One of my new faves!!
