This is my first experience with Nietzsche, and I find this man very interesting. I picked up this exact title because I expected it to be sarcastic, as he answers the questions “why am I so wise? why am I so clever? and why I write such good books?”. After reading it,I cannot decide if he was truly ironic or if he was for real. He reminds us constantly of how stupid Germans are, and that there is no drop of bad blood in his veins. He talks about his works, that he created nothing but things that no man will be able to do again or has done before, that he even would be considered the first artist of the German language. Yeah, the man is so full of himself, but I cannot help but be intrigued by his ideas. He also talks about selectivity in nutriment, in climate and place, he even gives an in-depth view on dietary. I cannot claim that I understood it all, I still want to know more about his philosophy and his ideas about gender equality. But yeah it was fun.

Probably my least favorite book i’ve read by Nietzsche. It felt slightly narcissistic and almost like he was just bragging the whole book. It didn’t teach me anything or make me ask questions like most of Nietzches other works have. Also very short.

Guess what! The title is not sarcastic!! This book is a rant by the author. He actually proceeds to describe, in great detail, why he IS so wise. Once you get past how pompous he is, and how misogynistic he is, you might find some interesting things in this book as well. It took patience to finish this, majorly because I kept getting annoyed. It may have been not such a good idea to read this book as the first one by this author.

I have no idea what happened while reading this. The problem night be at me, but he was awfully confusing and unnecessary complicated. Some ideas I've agreed with, but the manner they were described in lacked what the author claimed to posses. It just seemed to me that he dismissed his own claims and it wasn't such a nice experience as I've expected.
Nietzche sounds like a random uncle in my village boasting about his children, his children’s cats and childrens neighbour at kenduri.

do you want arrogance at the forefront of philosophy?
do you want to read some old-timey immature sexism?
do you want to be really bored?
do you want to read something unironically extremely arrogant?
do you want to read something written incredibly monotonously?
if yes, then you might be who this book was written for!
if not, you, like me won’t like this book.
overall, this book is bogged down by arrogance and an inability to be concise.
