I could listen to David Attenborough narrate the phonebook, so listening him recount his life story is a joy. His life experience could be half of what it is and still make a fascinating tale.
The biography part was more than interesting, I didn't expect some of the things I read about him. His life is definitely one of the most fascinating ones I've read about. The only bit that was frustrating at times was that he would start describing certain animals and plants as if he were filming a Planet Earth episode, which is not at all what I would expect in a memoir.
Loved this! But go for the audio version, as he narrates it himself and that is definitely part of the fabulous-ness of this book.
Wow. What a story. David was there since before TV was a thing and he is now on Netflix. Essentially being there for the whole birth, rise, fall, and death of linear TV. And from day 1 he was providing amazing life on earth content. I can not recommend this book enough, and especially in audio form. Attenborough wrote it and narrated it. What more could you wish for. Spectacular.
