Summary: Quick and Concise
Comment: Patrick Symmes created an excellent work. "Chasing Che" is an accurate and concise recent history lesson. The book parallels "The Motorcycle Diaries" by Ernesto Che Guevara well, adds much insight into more aspects of Che's life, and offers enlightening information from Alberto Granado's trip log. The book is much more condensed than Jon Lee Anderson's thorough biography "Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life" and is humorous and worth reading as it's own journey and freestanding work. Special thanks to Kooky.

Summary: Phenomenal Journey through History
Comment: Wow! I knew very little about Che before reading this book. I learned so much about not only him, but about Latin America today. I loved the fact that Mr. Symmes visits the same people and places that Che did. He interviews people about Che and talks about how Che got the name "Che." I love his sense of adventure...he captures the imagery of Bolivia, Peru and Chile vividly for his readers and enlightens us with interesting facts and descriptions. His spirit of adventure makes me want to travel to South America and to read more about Che. I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE! It is truly a phenomenal, inspiring and intellectual journey of the mind, body, and spirit.

Summary: Not just for Che addicts
Comment: I picked up this book after spending some time in Peru, not knowing much about Che except his iconic image on t-shirts of disconnected youths. I think I read the book from cover to cover without putting it down, almost literally. This book is one of the most exciting stories I've read in a long time, and perhaps one of the best narrative histories I've read. What made it such a great read was that it wasn't about the revolution, the image, or the icon that has since been created. It was about a couple of lost youth travelling around trying to find themselves. Knowing this made me appreciate Che even more, and to explore more about this dynamic individual who has become such an integral part of a globalised culture.
