i absolutely love the movie so i decided to read the book. the two are very different (obvious Hollywood treatment), yet both have their own beauty. you see the formation of Che's idealism in the infant stage. subtle losses in translation, i'm sure. and careful rewriting to clean it up (by the author himself, with space to fill in memory gaps). on the back of the book i have, it call Che "A Latin James Dean or Jack Kerouac" which may sell books better, but i see more Hemingway or Neruda in his style. A good read.

This book is about 2 vagabonds, roaming South America.

So if you wish to read about Che the revolutionary you will be disappointed.

No, I bought it neither because of Che Guevara nor Communism. I just want to have an insight on how wonderful and amazing South America is, and the book didn't disappoint me.
