• Hard to understand

  I’m probably not the target audience but this book is very hard to understand. The interpretation at the end of the book really helps though.

• Ambitious but vague for modern readers

  Heard it suit someone in agony or lost. The wording and format keeps reminding me of the Bible, due to its rhetorical beauty and the focus on humanity (comparing to other philosophical work that focus on deductions and reasoning); while the content shifts from praising the god to men, Zarathustra is suspiciously comparable to Jesus Christ in a lot of places. For example, the writer attempted in liberating humans’ thought/capabilities by constantly projecting the “virtue” on one single person, and setting him object to, in the book, the mass majority (or people not enlightened). Even though I loathe praising a martyr in literature (moral coercion is never a good way to persuade me personally), the book worth a read for it’s metaphor and story, because those a a lot easier to be absorbed in a relaxed set ups.

• Rewarding read

  Through beautiful old english, this enlightened tale of human morality and our surpassing of conventional wisdoms is layered in beautiful metaphors. This book is not for the feint of heart; it’s beautiful language takes patience and intelligence to understand, however if you take the time to learn as you read, you may find yourself swept off your feet by its intricate detail, its evolutionary ideology, and once again, it’s poetic nature.

• Rambling nonsense

  If there’s a point to his ramblings it’s not clear, good books are a joy to read. This book probably had some point to make but it was hidden, and after over a hundred pages I’ll call it quits.
