Not so great if you want to read the works of Kierkegaard in their integrity. Fear and trembling for instance is only a small fraction of its original. 2 stars because for some that may be enough, but for an in depth study, I didn't find it useful at all.

Miguel Angel Cisneros Saucedo:
The Danish philosopher (Creator of Existentialism) of the late nineteenth century, Søren Kierkegaard, presents a negative apology for the Christian faith. He established that life is lived in three different stages: the aesthetic stage, the ethical stage, and the religious stage. Man in the aesthetic stage lives life only on the individual level, a life centered on himself and pleasure. The man at this level could be very cultivated; however, his life revolves around himself and material things, be it sex, art, music, or whatever gives him pleasure. The paradox of life on this level is that it ultimately leads to unhappiness. The egocentric and aesthetic man does not find ultimate meaning in life or true satisfaction. Therefore, aesthetic life eventually leads to hooliganism, to a kind of disease with life. But this is not the end, since only at this point is a person ready to live in the background of existence, the ethical plane. The transition to the ethical stage of life is a kind of leap motivated by dissatisfaction to a higher level, where one affirms transpersonal moral values and conducts his life according to those objective standards. First, Man has to...

If you want to give an attempt at a more accessible philosopher, this is a great read. Grab a highlighter and enjoy the wisdom. It's a very random set of thoughts but oh, they are some incredible thoughts. I really enjoyed this challenging read and I think that people who are looking for some sophistication in their reading are looking the right way.

The Essential Kierkegaard
Edited by Howard & Edna Hong
(Princeton, NJ: Princeton UP, 2000) 524 pages
(ISBN: 0-691-03309-9; hardcover)
(ISBN: 0-691-01940-1; paperback)
(Library of Congress call number: B4372.E5 2000)
After they completed the huge project of translating into English
and publishing all of Søren Kiekegaard's writings,
Howard & Edna chose (with the advice of other Kierkegaard scholars)
the selections that make up this collection of the best of Kierkegaard.
The selections are presented in historical order,
offering something from every kind of writing Kierkegaard ever did.
All the translations into English are the same as used for
the standard collection of SK's works, called Kierkegaard's Writings,
which was also edited by the Hongs.
This one-volume anthology of Kierkegaard's writings
will introduce many future generations to the thought of the great Dane.
Before I read this collection, I had read the complete works of SK.
So I was quite familiar with everything contained in this volume.
Nevertheless, it was a good experience to read it thru again,
to see...

Gary Sprandel:
With a dizzying series of pseudonyms, from Climaticus to Anticlimaticus, this book selects from the Hong's expansive translation of all of Kierkegaard's writings. The introductions place each piece in context, but don't over interpret as some other books. Reading from the complete work presents a view of Kierkegaard's total plan ("The Authorship") and his voices of the religious, esthetic, and ethical. In light of the whole body, "Concluding Unscientific postscript" seems to have a pivotal role. Existentialists may like to claim him as he speaks of the individual about despair, fear and trembling, and anxiety, but make no mistake his work is to be a Christian (" Once and for all I must urgently request the kindly disposed reader continually to bear in mente [in mind] that the total thought in the entire work as an author is this" becoming a Christian"). He is a self appointed critic of the established church and the inclusion of the lesser known "The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air' shows the religious side. Present are all of Kierkegaard's "Knights": the Knight of Faith, the Knight of Infinite Resignation, and the Knight of Hidden Awareness....
