A freind of mine wrote this book and I avoided reading it for quite a while. I have tended to be averse to Nietzche for completely uninformed and rather ignorant reasons. I have enjoyed it a lot and I think anyone who is interested in a comparative analysis of this philosopher and early Buddhist teaching and practice will get something out of it.
The Author who I know as Sagaramati is currently writing another edition to make some corrections but I dont know when that will come out.
If anyone does read it and would like to discuss aspects of the book I will check in from time to time.

"Beautifully taught is the Lord's Dhamma, immediately apparent, timeless, of the nature of a personal invitation, progressive, to be attained by the wise, each for himself." Anguttara Nikaya V.332
