Really nice introduction to Nietzsche's philosophy. The book's alternate title is literally 'How to Philosophize with a Hammer', so it does not waste a lot of time in flowery metaphorical explanations but gets straight to the point. The Anti-Christ is an attempt to uncover the issues with Christianity in its origin and ideology, which it is definitely successful in doing. Two of the final books by Nietzsche before he died, and definitely has that mature feel, with his ideologies sprinkled across the book. Overall, a good entry point to Nietzsche in my opinion. I didn't mind the translation, but it is one of the early 19th century translations, and so I would definitely like to read a more recent translation to compare whether there are certain ideas which were misrepresented.
