Badly written wish fulfillment. Total waste of time. Also, if that many nuclear bombs had been set off, the world would be a radioactive graveyard.

How was it badly written? The story was interesting, the characters believable. I dunno how to do the hidden script but I think you might have a valid point.

Let me rephrase my last sentence: I dunno how to hide my text spoilers, but I think your text spoiler was a legit criticism, and I did notice it myself when I read it.

It's always interesting to read one of these bogeyman books, to see what they actually contain. The media would have you believe just by reading this book you'll take a questionably obtained truck with a guy that never existed to your nearest federal building.

I think when people say bad writing they are talking about the diary entry format which is a shitty narrative crutch for writers, everything ends up being a list of remarks on events that occurred.

There's also alot of killing. Characters seem to be able to kill without it affecting them much, especially when they are killing people deemed as traitors. Honestly my main gripe with the book is that, everyone is hyper competent and autistic to the rules. The organisation just suddenly exists, no in-fighting, it's a totally efficient guerrilla fighting machine that suffers few setbacks and can operate nationwide. Unlikely.

Also the ending is really stupid, it should've ended after they got to California. Like the whole global nuclear war wouldn't destroy the world? And the main character being forced to suicide mission at the end because he gave up secrets earlier in the book due to being tortured for days on end. As if the organization is so autistic that they can't understand that people will inevitably break under torture. So stupid.

Overall it was an interesting read. A time capsule of boomer white nationalist thinking.

The plot, characters, and theme were all infantile. It tried to be le edgy but instead was teenage edgelord cringe. If it makes you feel any better, I thought Amygdalatropolis was worse.

The point is you don't have an argument. You just don't like the book because it hurt your fee fees about your precious commies, faggots, jews and niggers.

Odd kind of utopian novel that inadvertently reveals the poverty of the authors world view. The author has a long list of people standing in the way of his Zion( like 90% of the world's population), but when it comes to describing what he is in favor of all you get vague gesticulations towards collectivized agricultural. The incoherent combination of culture pessimism and existential optimism that lies at the heart of the fascist worldview, the idea some social paradise can rise like a pheonix out of the corpses of all of the bad brain people, fuels nothing but a touchy, easily rattled anxiety and self pity.

People on all sides take WLP a lot more seriously than I think he meant. I knew some people who asked him about Hunter while it was in progress and his recurring answer to the story was "I donโ€˜t know but there will be a lot of sex and guns."

The writing, the actual prose, is utterly risible. If I'd turned it in in high school I would have expected to be lambasted, not for the content but for the fact that it reads like a thirteen year old's masturbation fantasy.

Never actually finished it desu.
lt was okay.
lf Netflix was based l think the adaptation as a short series would be better then on the page.
There's alot of action and the format of the story itself just lends itself more to film then a novel.

You're treating it like manifesto rather then novel.
lf you talked to a foot soldier in any revolution throughout history you'd get little more then the sort of incoherent idealism you articulate.
ln so far as peirce deserves critique its not for demonstrating this in the novel (quite the opposite) its in him trying in places to treat it like the manifesto its not and doing ideology exposition dumps in the middle.
Most of the story is just action and underdescribed sex though.
You dont have to be marxist to enjoy a book about the russian revolution and you dont have to be a racist to enjoy turner diaries.

NTA but people need to have hope. Without that, they become resentful and foment revolution. Free enterprise, not handouts.

If I were to rewrite this book the first thing I would do is get rid of the diary format, it destroys tension and it lends itself to a bunch of dear diary blah blah that just plain sucks.

Second I would spend far more of the book in the beginning, showing how things fell apart, the gun seizures, racial policing etc. The book takes one of the most interesting things in the book and turns it into mere exposition.

Finally I'd do away with the organization and have it be what it would be in reality, lots of disorganised cells coming together organically to fight the system. And my protagonist wouldn't be some hardcore autistic superman that can kill without flinching, people learn to kill, there's a difference between fighting your enemy and executing a white woman in cold blood for a race crime. Doing that would affect you.

Finally I'd have the ending be way less stupid.

I enjoyed it too; hearing the audiobook read by the author gives it a special flavor
>>24478592
I agree with the first two points
the other two points are understandable but remind yourself that it was written in the vein of 70s military pulp or comic books
of we consider that there are no other published (and readable...) works of "nazi" fiction, it's a miracle that even this exists

It inspired a bunch of terrorists and is illegal in several countries so I don't think "le prose" is the selling point, dumb-dumb.
