while i completely disagree with anyone saying heart of darkness but i can understand why some people would have trouble reading it. the only reason i understood it on the first read was because of my phenomenal english 30 teacher (thank you mr arsenault of st francis fame...what a hippie). i was never blessed with a great ability to turn books into my own imagination and that book has a lot of imagery that is important and my eng 30 teacher helped me not only read conrads sometimes difficult writing style but also develop a picture of his words in my mind.
personally i think the worst book and most disapointing ive ever read is easily the lord of the flies. what a load of crap and a waste of time that was.
