More importantly, it’s not very much fun, at least not relative to the best of Herzog’s literary (let alone cinematic) works, which amuse and surprise even when their general mood is somber or disturbing ... The main lesson from the book, though, is that even great artists tend to fail spectacularly when they overstretch. To give Herzog his due, it must be added that he has taught us this lesson several times already.
