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.
Not sure I would call it an easy romp, some parts of it are in clear need of an editor.
I listened to the book after seeing the movie and there is one chapter where he just lists things from the 80s.
He doesn’t comment on them, he doesn’t put them into some sort of context to each other, he just rattles on and on about the stuff🤦♂️
Haha i don’t disagree - it’s in bad need of an editor and he loves info-dumpy segues for sure. By easy romp i meant the story was fun for me to read, not that it was a paragon of literary readability.
I will say though that as someone who loves knowledge for its own sake and will spend hours going down Wikipedia rabbit-holes that his random forays and commentaries on movies and games did not bother me at all the way it would bother a reader who favors a more focused narrative and story-telling.
