I couldn't finish it and for once in a while, I'm not going to force myself into reading something I'm not getting and I don't see the point.
One of the reasons may be I have a crappy copy. Apparently, no one proofread it. On the other hand, I thought I would really understand this guy's thinking and his view of the world and life, but it's just about himself and how superior he thinks he is.

If you decide to read this as satire then I think the entire read is thoroughly enjoyable whilst also providing some interesting thought and commentary.
If you however read this as Nietzsche's being completely serious then it's impact is immediately lessened as I feel it would only really appeal to people who have a sort of complex about them and their standing within what circle they belong to.
I am choosing to take it as satire because to me that causes this to read as more brilliant and insightful. Despite being limited by it's repetition of thoughts, which is stated by Nietzsche, it manages to keep to keep things feeling somewhat fresh and is definitely full of character.

He basically explains what he meant in his other books or works. He gives a few bullet stuff like how you should live your life and what you should spend your energy on at first. But only a part include these sort of things. He also shares his comments about other nations. Etc. I think not everyone can understand Nietzsche, in order to get him you should have at least some of the same thoughts as he has. And this is so unlikely because of the states of humanity and their beliefs&culture system right now. I admire him and he amazes me all the time except when he talks about women

A fairly complex/challenging but rewarding read for those sensitive to Nietzsche's philosophy and its all-out war against christian morality - arguably a necessary step to take after some previous read of Nietzsche's work in order to fully conceive what is essential in his thought and further one's understanding of the "destiny" he fortells.

Same review as every other Nietzsche book

Nietzsche kitaplarının üzerinden geçiyor. En son okunması tavsiye. Onu yitirip kendimizi bulmak için. Kendini bulmanın koşulu da kim olduğunu hiç bilmemek.

Quite interesting how he is a follower of Dionysus and is a believer in Hedonism. Similar to the Epicureans except much more so. Completely unrestrained by common morality found in religion. This is a good overview book of his other novels. After reading you should have a good basis of his views to read more deeply the books you are interested in of his. Sadly, he does hate women.
