Motorcycle Diaries
I am expecting this book to be boring. I generally find books written in the diary style to be awful. Being that this is an actual diary, it probably has a lot more significance to the author than to the reader. I am expecting a different viewpoint of Che, rather than the one from Glenn Beck. I expect this will make him seem more human, explaining how he became who he was. It appears it will be a long and slow journey to the end of this book, filled with the tales of insignificant encounters and his daily doings. Washington Post calls Che, “A Latin American James Dean or Jack Kerouac.” Based on my enjoyment of Into the Wild, I have to conclude that I will not like this book either.
