Tämä teos kuvaa praedorien elämää ja maailmaa ehkä parhaiten kaikista Praedor-franchisen teoksista. Niin - jopa Petrin sarjakuvat tässä suhteessa ylittäen (pl. ehkä Kuninkaan lapset). En muista enää, kuka keksi nimittää Praedoria mutapaskafantasiaksi, mutta jos haluatte tietää, mitä se on, niin tämä teos on sitä kaikkein paskaisimmillaan. Julmaa, veristä, limaista, raakaa ja paikoitellen hulvattoman hauskaa.

Review of 'Mein Kampf' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I own the Finnish translation, signed by the man himself, apparently when Hitler visited Finland at 1942. It's a cheap, thermally bound print from 1940 in two volumes, labeled as "Arvostelijan kappale" (Reviewer's Copy).
Whomever the reviewer was, he or she never bothered to cut open a part of the first book nor most of the second book. (Books at that time were bound in a way where the reader had to cut the pages open with a paper knife.) That already tells you something about this book.
It is a very boring book with fancy - and unscientific - theories about race, and, as expected, rampant antisemitism.
I did read all of it. Probably not even most of the Germans at the time did that. The only remotely interesting parts were autobiographical.
At times, it is so stupid that it is unintentionally funny. That's why I gave it two …

I highly recommend reading Veikko Huovinen's "Veitikka" instead of this. Veitikka is a fictional autobiography of Hitler, but immensely more entertaining.
