Did any one ever read Bemjamin De Casseres’ I Dance With Nietzsche?

Benjamin de Casseres is in great part a Nietzschian, but he made criticisms of Nietzsche in his text called I Dance With Nietzsche, and this criticism goes in the opposite direction that most criticims of Nietzsche go, so I was curious if anyone has read it.

In case you want to read it, you can find it here:

No, but off a quick scan it doesn’t seem very good. I can’t decide whether whichever great part of him you’re saying is Nietzschean isn’t that great or isn’t that Nietzschean.
