Does what it sets out to do

This little introduction takes the reader on a (mostly) chronological trip through Friedrich Nietzsche's work. As I'm reading this for its intended purpose—as an introduction before diving into Nietzsche's own writing—I cannot as yet judge how accurate it is. Nevertheless, I feel like I've been provided a good overview of Nietzsche's work, the discourse around him, as well as some of the most important biographical information which will hopefully aid in understanding his texts.

A couple of polemic passages, which probably aim to mirror Nietzsche's own style, make this book not only a quick, but also an enjoyable read.
