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.

    Oh wow I didn’t know this was a red flag to people… can you give some specific reasons? I really loved the book and rated it 5 stars when i read it a long time ago. Are you sure its a bad book?

      Oh i don’t think liking the book makes you a bad person or anything. I just really dislike both the prose and the message so i doubt i’d be romantically compatible with someone who’s into it.
