Title: Eh.
Review: Nietzsche has been one of the most, if not the most, debated philosopher of the post modern era. He has been blamed for more than his share of social unrest and dismissed for more than his share of insight. He is a complex mind with an even more complex body of work. "What Nietzsche Really Said," is a glossed over, overly sympathetic and simplistic understanding of Nietzsche's complex social, metaphysical and political critiques. I would only recomend this book for a young teenager who has never heard of Nietzsche or philosophy. The book is an easy read, which is fortunate because one is able to read roughly two to three pages per minute (any longer would simply cause frustration). The book lacks real critical insight into some of Nietzsche's major points, which is most problematic considering his aphoristic style. This is not an achademic text and at the very best, could be put into "Idiot's Guide to Nietzsche" or "Nietzsche for Dummies" format.
