I've read the book as part of my "Important Historic Works" reading project. Even the Communist Manifesto is kinda well put together, also it at least ends quickly. Reading Mein Kampf was... well, it was like reading any other long-winded and rambling manifesto.
 
It wasn't even all that influential, it didn't sell too well until Hitler had already come to power.
Hence the review: "He had to conquer Germany to make sales because not even nazis wanted to read it."

I'll put it this way, Infantry Attacks is a far better autobiographical text from the era and... organization. And really all it is is Rommel bragging about what hot shit he was during the Great War and talking about infantry tactics. I get that it's a different genre, but like I said, rambling manifestos aren't fun to read.
