"Definitely helped me parse Lacan's dense-ass writing, though I understand that Zizek's reading of Lacan is a bit idiosyncratic. Much of this will be familiar territory if you've read a few of Zizek's other books, but it's nice to see it connected back to the original text."
"I read this in order to understand Zizek (who is a Lacanian Marxist) more than I read it to understand Lacan (who is just a psychoanalyst), and it was well worth it."
"This was my follow-up to reading those essays I read from _Ecrits_, and I thought it was pretty helpful.... Zizek's primary interest here seems to be in exploring what Lacan means by the symbolic. And I think Zizek does a really good job with that-- I certainly think I get it a lot more than I did before, and in lots of places, Zizek's examples are very clear and mostly current, so that's all good.
My quibble here, then, is one of focus. I might just be idiosyncratic in my interests or my reading, but I thought the imaginary was more central to Lacan's project, and I'm not sure that's explored as fully as I'd like-- there is some talk about the imaginary and the real in later chapters of Zizek's book, but it doesn't feel as direct or as sustained as I might have hoped for.
Still, this really did enrich my understanding of Lacan, just not in the areas I felt like I really wanted to know more."
"Zizek is a great as a commentary. I cannot say I did not enjoy the book, it was good. It's not so much of an introduction to Lacan, passingly Zizek does introduce his main concepts - but it's really not satisfying.
If you're a Zizek follower, or if at least you've ever attended a lecture by him - do not read it, since it's such a repetition of whatever he's saying all the time.
I would not recommend it to people who actually want to start with something on psychoanalysis. This book is definitely not it."
