DEADLY dull. I would have agreed it zero stars, but I guess one star is as low as you can go.

I loved the premise of this book, but I never figured out what the “Harp” in the title means. Plus, I didn’t lose any weight. I recommend “The South Beach Diet.”

This was a very hard book to read unless you had a lot of caffeine. The leader uses so many descriptive phrases it is hard to follow. This is not a book you would willingly read it has to be forced upon you.

I’m sure this book was revolutionary when it first came out. I’m sure that it boggled the minds of so-called civilized intellectuals everywhere and made people reflect a small harder about the benefits of imperialism. But this book has small weight anymore. The threat of colonization has far from subsided, I suppose, but in a world of 24-hour news stations, talk radio, and political personalities bombarding the media with their personal opinions, the issue has been overanalyzed and selected apart. Nothing new is open in the book in this century, which is a real bring shame on, because the writing is to many people very gorgeous.
The problem for me was not reading a tired diatribe about the horrors of civilization and humanity’s common savagery. No, the problem was in the central metaphor, which I’m sure you can guess by reading the title. Again, maybe the symbol of light and darkness was new and exciting 100 years ago, but it certainly is not now. And it doesn’t help that Conrad chose to make absolutely certain that even his dimmest readers couldn’t miss his metaphor; his favorite words are “light,” “white,” “dark,” “black,” “haze,” “brooding,” “blinding,” “shadow,” “sun,” and “gloomy,” and he does not hesitate to overuse them. I cringe when I consider counting the amount of times I read the axiom “the impenetrable heart of darkness.” Plus, as the entire tale is orally told by Marlow, the entire fact that he uses this overarching metaphor is unrealistic and only serves to make each mention of light and dark more irritating. It’s a quick read, but save yourself the distress and just look up “imperialism” on wikipedia, or read Orwell’s “Animal Farm” – a much more original classic with a similar pessimistic view of humanity.
