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.
See… I saw the RPO movie first, and really just enjoyed the techy concept behind it as well as the other nerd shit like video games. Knowing how nostalgia-packed it intended to be, I knew that going into the book, so I was able to enjoy the same things about it.
I would rate it 5/5, but I’m an easy grader. If a book was written by an amateur, but I had a good time, that’s good enough for me. I feel like with RPO, some people either have higher standards than I do (easy) or they weren’t managing their own expectations for what they thought the book was supposed to be.
