A review by bword
Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is; Revised Edition by Friedrich Nietzsche
funny
informative
reflective
medium-paced

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.
