A thrilling, loud read; Nietzsche eschews the niceties of philosophical reasoning and takes up the hammer (as he called it) to pulverize Christianity - and pulverize it he does, for all the wrong reasons. Although titled "The Anti-Christ," Christianity is here used as a gateway to his real enemies: the poor, the weak, socialists, women, Jews, Germans, and anyone else he perceives to be less than manly, less than virtuous, to be unwashed in some way or another. It's all supremely exciting, and at the end of the day, supremely hateful and sad. A right-wing screed, not at all the sort of radical nihilist attack on Christianity that his (somewhat false) popular reputation would suggest.
