The word "Nazi" used to carry some weight before it got diluted by modern American discourse.

I finished this book 3 days ago.
>Read book
>be at page 200 out of 428
>protagonist is stuck in someones dream world
>I rush through the chapters a little
>book suddenly ends at page 266
The rest of the book is the same story again but this time written out as a movie script (the movie never got made).
I thought I was only halfway through when suddenly the story ends. Worst book experience.

Maybe you should read Starship Troopers instead

Its closest movie adaptation was Inception
