The Heart of Darkness and the Secret Sharer by Joseph Conrad has many great things about it. Heart of Darkness is a five-star book in my eyes. Not many people enjoy this book because of its dry start but other than a lengthy start I rather enjoyed it. In the book there are several characters to meet, but there is only two who stand out. To start of with there is Marlow. Marlow is a thirty-two-year-old sailor who has always lived at sea and is "a meditating Buddha" because his experiences in the Congo. He has some interesting qualities, for example being extremely curious and at times skeptical about things.Next there is Kurtz and he is one of the most mysterious characters in the book. Like Marlow, Kurtz also wishes to travel to Africa
