Nietzsche is a hard read, I'll be honest. I know that a lot of the time his writing is meant to be sarcastic, but I just can't pick up when he's sarcastically commenting on a common perception or when he's saying something I genuinely disagree with.
I can't bash him for being a philosopher I disagree with, he's a great philosopher and this book is a fantastic read to understand his "system" of "morality".
He writes in a blunt manner where he really does not care about the reader's opinion, which he references several times. He writes in short and easy to digest sections, but due to the heavy topics and the dense nature of his writing, it can take quite a while to get through.
