it was amazing

bookshelves: little-black-classics

Conrad's knowledge of the sea shines through in what can only be described as an exhausting read. From the outbreak of the typhoon to the end the story is relentless. There is no room to pause for thought you are thrown from one page to the next by the constant storm. Engulfed in the waves that sweep you on to the next page. Floundering around on the wind swept deck of each page you wonder if you will make it to the end of the sentence or pulled under by the fingers of the mighty ocean.

Wonderful writing from a man of great talent.
