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.

    For someone being so snobby about the book, it’s quite funny that you’ve misinterpreted the quite simple messages of it.

      I struggle to misinterpret what is rammed down your throat via actual author monologues in the middle of the text. Not much subtext hidden in high school reflective essay style prose either. And yes, to be fair, I did REALLY hate this book - maybe I am too harsh, but I don’t think it’s snobby to just really hate a book.
