In such a situation you could describe the book as either:-
1. This book is pointless and has no meaning.
If after reading a book you cannot understand what the book is all about and what is trying to say the that book is pointless and has no meaning. The word "pointless" means having little or no sense or meaning.
2. This book is not fit to be read.
This has a similar meaning to the statement above. If a book is pointless then it is not fit to be read.
このような場合、次の2つの表現を使って言い表すことが出来ます。
1. This book is pointless and has no meaning.
(この本は要領を得なくて、意味がない)
本を読み終えた後、何が書いてあるのか理解できず、意味が分からない場合その本は"pointless and has no meaning"です。
この"pointless"とは、要領を得ない、意味がないという意味になります。
2. This book is not fit to be read.
(この本は読むに値しない)
この表現は上記の表現と同じような意味になります。
その本が要領を得なければ、読むに値しませんよね。
Impact, irrelevant or pointless mean similar things. It is saying that the book does not make any effect on the person reading it.
People do not react to it - it will not harm, or invoke something good, it just does nothing. There is no point to reading it, as you will not gain or lose anything by doing so.
Impact、irrelevant、pointlessは同様のことを意味しています。I例文では、その本は読み手に何も影響を与えないと言っています。
People do not react to it - それは害も及ぼさず、良いことも引き出さず、何もしないという意味です。それを読むことによって何かを得るものも失うものもないので、読むことに意味はありません。
If something has no meaning or use to anyone then it is called 'pointless' (there is no point or meaning to it)
If something has no reason to why it has been done ( a book being written making sense) then it is said to have 'no purpose'
