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.
Ohh, I get what you mean now. I think that’s on them tbh but I do get the “hope they don’t misinterpret this” vibe lol. You’re right. I just gave it 5 stars though if you’re on Goodreads and don’t wanna bother finding out about Lolita then I don’t care about your opinion anyway.
Ah i just diodnt bother rating irving because it was genuinely SO intersting as a historical document, it was assigned for us to get used to writing evidential history and so id probably rate it higher out of the value I got out of the book but im not giving a horrible ahistorical mess 3-4 stars so I just left it blank
