It was in great condition. I bought it because Jack said the phrase of "Heart of Darkness" on LOST, season 1 episode 4, entitled "Walkabout," and I read everything even remotely LOST-related. This is the episode where we find out that John Locke was in a wheelchair prior to the crash of Oceanic 815. He decides to go on a boar hunt with Kate Austen and Michael Dawson. When Kate tells Jack that she is going on the hunt, Jack says, "How come every time there's a trek into the heart of darkness, you sign up?" So that is why I bought the book.
I was required to read this for English class and would not read this book on my own.

I ordered this book, "The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad on July 24, 2007. It is now September 1, 2007 and I have yet to see the book, so I don't know what like or don't like about the book. I ordered it for my daughter to use with her AP (Advanced Placement) English class that started August 9, 2007. I will have to put a rating of poor on it as I have nothing to go by to have any other opinion.
Heart of Darkness is a great book that I was required to read in English Class. It's small amount of pages is quite misleading. In the book are a variety of symbols, allusions, and themes that portray the underlying evil of humanity through the Charles Marlow's story of European conquest of the Congo for ivory.
