Review
For every comic escapade of the carefree roustabout there is an equally eye-opening moment in the development of the future revolutionary leader. By the end of the journey, a politicized Guevara has emerged to predict his own legendary future.

Inspiring,
This review is from: The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey (Paperback)
An amazing book. It's time for people to stop looking at Che Guevara like a murderer and start looking at him as a soldier--he had an idea to benefit humanity, and unfortunately he had to physically fight (by means of guerrilla warfare) to get his message across. In a totalitarian-capitalist country, you can't simply just write an essay to get your message across, you have to make your movement physical so all will be aware of what you're fighting for. This book describes a change in life, and is recommended for everyone.

che as a human,
By A Customer
This review is from: Motorcycle Diaries: A Journey Around South America (Paperback)
this is one of the best things i have ever read. it's che guevara as a human being, a young man, before he became a political figure and a romaticised icon. no, it's not a marxist book per se, it's not even very political. but it's not supposed to be 'das kapital' -- it's che's journals, his thoughts, feelings, observations on his journey through south america at 23 and the adventures, people, and day-to-day hardships he and his friend alberto faced. though it does show how his political views were developed, i don't even think that's the most important thing. the really great thing about this book is that it lets the reader into che's mind -- and heart -- not only as a revolutionary but as a human being. ten million stars.

On the Road,
By Tony Theil (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motorcycle Diaries: A Journey Around South America (Paperback)
Che's Motorcycle Diaries is a non-politicized odyssey around South America, full of comical high jinks and adventure. The 23 year old, pre-revolutionary Che is a talented travel writer with an abundance of humor and an observant eye for the human condition. The Motorcycle Diaries reflects intimate insight of the young man who would one day become a legend.Praise needs to go to Ann Wright, the translator, who maintained the integrity of the Diaries.
