I agree it's only famous because of who wrote it. On it's merits as a book it falls down horribly. I enjoyed it purely because of the author, and some of the insights into his mind.

I doubt I'd enjoy similarly lengthy and unspectacular philosophical pieces by men and women who didn't then go on to becoming dictators.
