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