    “I've so enjoyed reading this book off and on. Werner Herzog has a poetic, twistedly-flat, and humorous way of writing. I'm taken by reading his book of diary entries; getting a glimpse at his inner thoughts and what caught his attention was fascinating. Absolutely love this book and will be passing it on to my mom to read next. Looking forward to watching the film he was working on while he kept this diary.”
