4 stars

Først og fremst fascinerende å lese hvordan en av være histories største ikoner er et vanlig menneske som oss, også med de samme stereotypiene og fordommene, nesten rasistiske, som vi også ubevisst eller ikke, kan besitte. En dagbok fra en reise på langs av Sør-Amerika, episodisk og uten episke episoder, bare små episoder fra en lang reise som viser hvor liten forskjell det er på oss - kanskje med unntak av utholdenheten og selvdisiplinen.

This definitely has academic value for anyone studying Che, but this is not a good book.

Sam reviewed The Motorcycle Diaries (Movie Tie-in Edition) by Ernesto Che Guevara

Well written travel diaries, insights into a historical figures youth

3 stars

I very much enjoyed the way Che writes, and learning about the youth and defining moments of a historical figure. I wish the motorcycle had lasted longer. This is one of those great travel books that absolutely makes you want to jump on a bike and drive off into the world.

Readers should be warned that, although Che Guevara is known for being a progressive who fought for equity and equality, this was still written in the 50s and there is some very stark racism in a few places.
