Ecce homo, or Behold the Man, is Nietzsche's last original work completed 2yrs before his death. I found this slim volume to be easy to read, and quite funny. Just take a look at a few of his chapter titles: "Why I Am So Wise", "Why I Am So Clever", "Why I Write Such Good Books". Those are awesome. Recommended for those who have enjoyed other works by Nietzsche.

Despite studying philosophy, I have never been a reader of Nietzsche.
So I came, for my culture, to read Ecce Homo. It is ultimately a philosophical biography full of the compulsion of the philosopher with the invasive mustache. Because he certainly is a megalomaniac. He takes up the essential themes of his philosophy and returns to the theses of his works.
The superhuman and the eternal return are concepts that are ultimately not so clear. I don't know if I would have understood the text without the introductory course.
However, Ecce Homo seems to me to be very useful to find oneself than in the productive work of this disciple of Dionysus.

definitely a little hard to read, BUT it's such an interesting somewhat autobiography, i loved it. The problem for some people - you need to know his main concepts before reading this book.

Well, it was ok; although I hardly agree with this man on anything. Review coming.
thevampiremars's review against another edition
I’ve been meaning to read Nietzsche for a while. My original plan was to start with Ecce Homo then to go back and read his major works in chronological order. I feel like I’m not getting anything out of Ecce Homo without context and prior familiarity, though, so I am reconsidering my approach. When I attempt to tackle Nietzsche again, I think I might start with Thus Spoke Zarathustra instead.
