I enjoyed this one.

The author gets heavy handed and goes on forever in some passages and then jumps sporadically around in others, but overall I genuinely enjoyed this one.

This is clearly a man's world.

this world eats souls, bodies, hearts and minds, regardless of gender, class, disposition, and nationality. At the heart of the empire whose sun supposedly never sets, the city spits out the entrails of this gobbledygook of mixed ideals, twisted and defunct morals and base agendas

The secret sharer*

First time reading this book, i loved every bit of this tiny book. I will certainly read more of this work in the future 😁

A Must read.

It must be that, and only that, beyond the faintest suspicion of any other object. You anarchists should make it clear that you are perfectly determined to make a clean sweep of the whole social creation.

Genius book.

The cold calculation with which this act of terrorism is planned, in order to help the government to maximum effect, is genius, dripping with ironic detachment:

Five star.

I thought that The Secret Agent was a genuinely fascinating profile of London society, and I found Conrad's picture of society being driven by personal interest and the lust for political power to be incredibly modern in its deep pessimism and sceptical view of human nature.

Secret Agent ,

The Secret Agent is an absorbing and very prescient book which, whilst sometimes challenging, is an essential read, not least in how it foretold many of the themes of the twentieth century.

great writer.

I never expected to roar with laughter though whilst reading The Secret Agent, however there is a lot sly, subtle humour in the novel and also some very amusing scenes.

Motivational book.

The Secret Agent is wide-ranging, and explores a range of characters from a broad section of society and goes into the details of their lives, their motivation and inner world, and their interactions.

Wao.

The Secret Agent is said to have influenced the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, which is understandable, especially the character of the Professor who is completely ruthless and contemptuous of humanity.

Well written book.

The Secret is a extremely well written book.The author's way of describing several situations at the same time, is done very well.

Fantastic book.

Fantastic! Interesting, dark, sad, thrilling, all at the same time. Great imagery and characters.i like this one.

Entertaining!

The story is not a great epic but the story telling is. Read one of his books occasionally, it's worth the time.

Wonderful at every level

The Secret Agent is timely and important reading for today.the author a real handle on the machinations of state power, (though he may not have realized it).

To add to my collection

The genius of "The Secret Agent" is that Conrad subverts the espionage/terror tale and makes it a tale of bureaucratic anomie.

Get this one.

The main characters of the story are being played like chess pieces, and the people at the top playing the chess game seem, at times, like monkeys playing with their own shit

Just a suggestion

The interesting thing about "The Secret Agent", though, is how much differently it treats character than many of his other books. Most of the main characters are intensely real.

Fantastic book.

It is so fantastically perfect in its detail and as a psychological study, you know you're experiencing one of the greatest writers who ever lived.

I Enjoy this book.

I really enjoy this writing. He explores his characters motivations and gives good descriptions.Amazing book.

Favorite storis.

The Secret Agent” is one of my favourite books by one of my favourite writers.
