The Motorcycle Diaries was such an interesting insight into the early life of Che Guevara and the early seeds of his thoughts, which would eventually evolve him into the revolutionary figure he as seen as today. It's hard to rate this book knowing it's essentially someones journal, so my rating is purely based on my reading experience. 

I really liked learning about the different countries in Latin America;  their indigenous histories and the way they've been affected by colonialism. Halfway through the book there was a change of tone, you could see Che's thoughts evolving and the increased depths of his observations and reflections. 

Despite everything, this book is a travel diary, so a lot of it was filled with descriptions of the landscape and atmosphere. While Che does talk about his thoughts and feelings, the entries are written in a somewhat impersonal way, more as a way of documenting what's around him than dissecting his own opinions. 

My favorite part was probably the last two entries and the afterward. I loved seeing the connection between Che's desire to be a doctor and his role in the revolution, the way it all connected back to his descriptions of the inadequate medical facilities he encountered throughout his journey.
