Loh Huai Kai: An annotated version would be a bonus, but this version is just the pure text which also is pretty good.

shufti: Consider the following extracts : “The noble type of man regards HIMSELF as a determiner of values; he does not require to be approved of; he passes the judgment: What is injurious to me is injurious in itself; he knows that it is he himself only who confers honour on things; he is a CREATOR OF VALUES. [ie. lives life by his own rules]
“Without the PATHOS OF DISTANCE, such as grows out of the incarnated difference of classes, out of the constant out-looking and down-looking of the ruling caste on subordinates and instruments, and out of their equally constant practice of obeying and commanding, of keeping down and keeping at a distance that other more mysterious pathos could never have arisen, the longing for an ever new widening of distance within the soul itself, the formation of ever higher, rarer, further, more extended, more comprehensive states, in short, just the elevation of the type man, the continued self-surmounting of man, to use a moral formula in a supermoral sense.
‘Noble’ to a 21st century ear sounds like superiority. The 'pathos of distance' is like you have with a pet dog to which you show approval or disapproval. Is Nietzsche saying that...

Aaron G: I'm not a fan of the way this copy was printed. Long solid white pages(rather than the traditional off white) so it felt like a text book for school. Also, because the pages are so long, the book itself is very thin, feels like a little brochure than a novel. Also doesn't have the title and author name on the binding like most books. I ordered a different version by Penguin classics in the end.

Piankh: beyond good and evil
This work is worthwhile reading for a number of reasons.
Firstly, he does ask a lot of probing questions that should be asked.
Secondly, he illustrates how much a derivative an individual really is.
Nietzsche is saying, the philosophy that begot the French Revolutions and their descendants is just "the morality of herding animals",so; this is true. It was a time of "enlightenment" and maybe their eyes opened and saw themselves as gregarious animals and that is foundation of the philosophy. It is based on real human beings, not a presumed potential which may or not exist and it sets out to improve them by popular education. Nietzsche wants to make philosophy into a science but "the herd morality" is actually a first step in that direction while the claims of the superior man are lost in antiquity. His superior man is much involved with the will, the spirit and the soul; we have lost contact with some of these ideas.
He is fond of suffering, says it produces progress. Well, he does know how much suffering has been in the world since he left and that we put people on the moon and talk to them in real time. So we do not need a philosophy...

Ronald K. Byers: I understand completely why readers dislike Nietzsche, but it is important to recognize this book not as an aberration but almost a prophecy of the changes that were to come about in the world very soon thereafter. Nietzsche methodically reduces a great deal of historical thinking to dust, all the while insisting that his new world requires new thinking and new inventions by which to create great things. In that sense, perhaps he was right but perhaps it is also beyond the capacity of mankind to actually live with such a weight on his shoulders. Still I regard this book as prophetic in its own right, having great influence on the great minds of the 20th century, including the later ontological studies of Heidegger. Heidegger delivered more lectures on Nietzsche than any other person, not necessarily because he was espousing Nietzsche's point of view, but because, I believe, that he accepted the challenge to discover ontological truths which had heretofore been deficient or lacking.
In some ways, although I regard this as Nietzsche's best book because it is the clearest statement of his important subjects in the most concise manner, this book is frightening to read. I became a...
