My 37th book finished in 2023.
I found this one in a book cafe in Hoi An, Vietnam. I left it in a homestay in Hue.
Heart Of Darkness:
Hands down the most boring fiction book I've ever had the misfortune to read. It's only redeeming feature was it's short length.
The writing style is horrendous. There was absolutely no need for a narrator. I don't know whether it was just my edition, but the pages were just a wall of text. The paragraphs were completely random, and it was so hard to follow who was saying what.
This book is trash, it doesn't deserve a longer review. I would give it a 1 star.
Secret Sharer:
It was alright. I was just disappointed that nothing happened at the end. I was hoping for a big tense climax, but it didn't deliver. Maybe the other guy was the narrator? There were so many routes it could have gone down, but it did none of them. I would give it a 2.75 star.
This averages the book to a 1.75 star rating.
