Heart Of Darkness ✔️
It's a shame this one was written for a magazine in 3 parts, it easily could have and (in my opinion) should have been a 300 or 400 page book. But that's what paid the bills back then. The good news is that Apocalypse Now seems to have captured the shear insanity of the situation that Joseph Conrad perhaps failed to convey in totality with only 110 pages. 4 stars for Heart Of Darkness from me.
