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.

    That book was sooo bad, I thought it would be fun when I bought it and was shocked when they eventually made it into a movie

      I think the movie was more based on one of his stories which was a trip to a strip club.

      High school me thought it was the funniest story ever. Haha he was drunk and on drugs and he shit himself in the lobby. Glad I grew out of that one.

      I’d never heard of him until they were filming a scene from that movie in the neighborhood I lived in at the time. I looked it up and quickly decided I’d never watch the movie or read the book. It all sounded so awful.
