This was actually somewhat interesting because I studied Greek tragedy in my World Literature class. But if someone knows nothing about Greek tragedy, this collection of thoughts are kind of a waste of time.

Really liked this insight on greek tragedy (have to admit there are many parts i didn't get) even though i love Socrates it's nice to see someone talking shit about him, Nietzsche way of writing made this flow amazingly.

Barely... it was almost a DNF. Even though concepts of Dionysusian and Apollonian cultures are very interesting, and a lot can be said about it, I needed a break after almost every chapter. Just not for me. Also, don't approach it without knowledge of Greek tragedies.

I have no idea what to think of this work. Im pretty sure the author wasn't settled into his ideas either. Still, this book puts things into perspective when compared to his later works.
