Interesting read. If you've read any Nietzsche before, this one isn't much different in terms of what you should expect.

This book requires immense patience. You must wade through pages of convoluted sexism and hypocrisy to reach grains of rationality. Though I feel I have gained something from reading it, and see why Nietzsche is well known, I feel my time may have been better spent on a lecture or video explaining the valuable parts of his philosophy.

Me: "Wow, he seems to be basing all of his conclusions on half-baked stereotypes"
Nietzsche: "Scientists are too obsessed with collecting data! They need to confidently make conclusions! Also they are womanish!"
Me: "There it is"
In all seriousness, Nietzsche hates every single person in the world besides himself, and this means that he contradicts himself frequently in order to effectively hate everyone. Therefore, the only conclusion that isn't contradicted and lasts to the end is "Nietzsche is the most special boy".
Also, what is his deal with women? He hates them for being, impious, too pious, frivolous, too desirous of education, too uneducated, too interested in science, too desirous of rights, and too self-interested. As you can see, this is one example of him contradicting himself to hate people more thoroughly.
