They are certainaly well worth reading provided you dont mind having your existing notions and ideas of "good vs evil" and "just vs unjust" be shattered before you as you flick through the pages.
As you will learn some bitter and downright disgusting untold truths, that were kept swept under the rug when you were learning about the two world wars at school from the "good guys" perspective.

Here's a really shitty poem I wrote a while back for a girl I was with at the time (she was French), it is kinda written in English sonnet fashion for some reason and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work at all in French (I speak it, but I don't know it past a conversational level and I've never studied French poetry). Also, it doesn't even fit iambic pentameter for that matter, even though I'm pretty sure that's impossible in French. It's pretty embarrassing but I thought it might be worth a laugh now.

Les pluies sans fin sont maintenant emportées
Mon cœur nourri par la chaleur du jour.
Comme le fou Crœsus des dernières années,
Même si Dieu sait que j'ai beaucoup moins d'or,
J'ai appelé le dieu mort Apollon,
Et j’ai exigé le soleil caché.
Il a été maudit par Cupidon
Et il est tombé pour la belle Daphne
Je pense que je connais le sentiment
Qu'il doit avoir senti à ce laurier.
Parce que je ressens la même chose maintenant
Quand je ne peux pas voir le beau soleil
Cependant, je vais regarder encore
Je sais que les nuages partent toujours
