mein kampf December 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
a brilliant book, a real insight into the mind of a man who will forever be remembered in history. it was interesting to read a book that had not been altered in anyway, by that i mean most books i have read about national socialism or the nazis, are so inaccurate, and full of the authors own biased views.
Just a note about this particular version of the book. November 3, 2008 It's a very interesting book and all, but I'm really just posting up this review to say that the version for sale on this page contains more than a few confusing spelling/grammatical errors. Also, anyone who judges books by their covers might not be surprised to find out that the editor likes to paint Hitler as an evil monster etc. rather than keeping his ideas to himself and letting the reader make up their own mind.
Appaling quality October 25, 2008 This review is a warning regarding the actual physical quality of the book, rather than the content.
I ordered this very same version of Mein kampf off Amazon and just reading it was a battle (no fault of Adolf's!)
a) It is littered with typos. I lost count of the time I had to re-read a sentence to make sense of it because of basic errors; 'that' instead of 'than', etc.
b) Dozens (literally) of the pages were stuck together along the leading (opening) edge. I had to rip apart so many pages that hadn't been separated that the book now looks like it's been gnawed at by a rotweiller
c) Huge chunks of pages came away from the binding. My copy has about 15-20 sections that now protrude from edge when closed, because they came out. The first chunk of pages popped away from the binding when I opened it to look at the photos in the middle. Seriously, what was it bound together with, saliva?
If you want to read Mein Kampf I suggest you purchase a different copy to this. Reading it was a physical chore; tearing pages apart, holding chunks into the spine, etc. etc.
My copy of this book looks like it was hand-made by a one-armed blind man with no love for his craft.
an informative, dark read September 27, 2008 I read Mein Kampf in the hope of understanding some of the madness of Hitler's actions and wasn't disappointed. Although written in the 1920s what can be found here is a sort of blue print for World war Two.Through the book Hitler exposes the dark side of the human race and tries to manipulate the reader into agreeing with him. Unlike the German people of the time the reader has the luxury of knowing the evil of his plan. An informative and dark book that gives history a slightly different slant

Well, may be I m going against the flow here, but this book, is one of the most boring, poorly written, waste of money and paper i ve ever read for ages.. Its full of hate, written by a guy who throw up his bitterness and hate of everything non German during pages after pages after pages..., like you would throw up when You re drunk....
It s brilliant to put you to sleep if you ve got insomnia though...
we all know about the context in which it was written and what it lead to. so, no need to make some fuss about it and call it a must read. when it s an absolute piece of human junk.and fuel for hate... well. i read it.. did not like it, .. but that s my personal opinion.
