I’ll go with the low-hanging fruit: Mein Kampf. I’ve read it, cover to cover. As a piece of propaganda, it’s good. As an example of good writing? Absolutely not (though I will admit I have only read it in translation). Oh, and the whole fascist, racist, and generally shitty worldview of the author that he infuses into the text. And the fact that the author is literally Hitler. You 5-star that book? You’re a Nazi. Period. And as a Jewish person, I don’t look too kindly on them.
Trigger Warning by William W. Johnstone. No. Just. No.
I want to read it for the sheer hilarity
I recommend Jenny Nicholson’s reading and discussion.
There’s a YouTuber who read it for you, to save anyone who had the desire to read it, if you search Trigger Warning book it’ll probably pop up first
I read toy cemetery by William w johnstone. That whole book is genuinely the work of a mad man
Yeah, it sounds hilariously ridiculous:
"Former Army Ranger Jake Rivers is not your typical Kelton College student. He is not spoiled, coddled, or ultra-lib like his classmates who sneer at the “soldier boy.” But regardless of his differences with the rest of the student body, he needs an education. And when terror strikes, the school needs Jake.
Without warning, the sounds of gunfire plunge the campus into a battle zone. A violent gang of marauders invade the main hall, taking students hostage for ransom. As a veteran and patriot, Jake won’t give in to their demands. But to fight back, he needs to enlist his fellow classmates and school them in the not-so-liberal art of war. This time, the aggression isn’t “micro.” It’s life or death. And only the strong survive."
What’s fucked is William Johnstone didn’t write that but his name keeps getting pulled through the mud with it.
He’s been dead since 2004 and his niece (J.A. Johnstone) has been writing under his name ever since. So she actually wrote that piece of trash.
I hadn’t heard of this book and read a synopsis. I’m reminded of ‘Six Feet Under Par’ written by the character Brent Norwalk on ‘The Good Place’.
