A review by hassanazmi
Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
3.0
Ayyyo, what the FUCK was that?
The metaphors are super vague and weird for no reason. This is a philosophy book, the half assed story does nothing for it in my opinion. It's a TOUGH read through and through.
But the ideas are interesting. And I feel like so many people have made their careers paraphrasing and regurgitating the ideas in this book. So it gets points for that.
I dunno, I just feel like we live in a world where so many people have consumed the themes of this and repurposed them in their stories that it doesn't seem as groundbreaking as it was when it was written. But then again, you could say that about Dostoevsky and his work still comes across as groundbreaking to me.
Overall, not my style even if I do like many of the ideas.
Gonna up to 3 stars after thinking about it some more
