Title: Dry and Dull
Review: It amazes me that an author who is considered so wonderful could be so dull. The book is dry and so hard to get through. I read this for a research paper on imperialism and hated it. Never before did I need to use Cliff Notes. I had to have them so I could understand the chapters as I went along. Only read any of Conrad's work if you really enjoy long, dull, winding, and pointless stories. There are so many descriptions of the setting, that Conrad necer can find the space to focus on the characters. Like Jim, the main character. I know less about him than I do about a stanger that I could meet on the street.
