    “Seriously not a dull moment in the wonderful memoir by Werner Herzog. From his mother running and grabbing him from his crib after their apartment was bomber in Germany and fleeing live in a barn in Bavaria to the day he met Klaus Kinski as a teenager in a bombed out building turned boarding house post war -- Werner's retelling of his life is peak Herzogian narration -- he narrates the audiobook as well, what could be better?”
