God Is Dead. God Remains Dead. and We Have Killed Him

I don't even feel good at reviewing this book plus I find it unnecessary but still I need to express how much I enjoyed this read. 

First I must say Nietzsche wrote about a point of view that I already shared prior to reading this. In this tho, he went very deep into the details and expressed it in an intricate and exquisite though-provoking scheme. I really like how the book is made of these little texts that, although short, are very powerful in it's content. 

I wasn't used to reading this type of philosophic novel but I loved when I had a philosophy in high school and this brought all of those amazing memoirs back. I can't wait to read more books like these. Again I agreed with the author in most of his opinions and criticisms of religion in general but there was also so much more beyond that and I truly left this read with a bunch of interesting and overwhelming new ways of thinking. 

A great book for all of those who like to take a moment to reflect on what you have read and are in need of a captivating learning challenge.
