completely unfamiliar with the book, and the image is throwing me for a spin as well
i can't figure out what i'm looking at, what way is up or what i'm being led to
a 6 anyways because it captivated me

Comment by mariuca:
It's an interesting image but not powerful enough for Koestler's take on communism. It's not frightening enough. it quivers but it does not scream in pain.

Comment by Cory:
Fascinating image. Can't connect it at all to the novel. Oh, unless you just simply saw the word dark in the title and thought "Gee, this is dark"..

Really, the book was about trials and prison, etc. This doesn't speak to that.

4 - because it IS a wonderful image.

Comment by tvsometime:
This is a studious attempt at showing the grueling horror of torture more literally described in the novel. Clawing clouds of light and dark conjure up the horrific atmosphere of the story. The image itself is well constructed to that end with exaggerated contrast and textures extending the visual impression to harsh extremes. 7
