What relevance does the motorcycle have?
The Back Cover
The back cover offers a brief synopsis of the novel’s premise that seems to simply be a diary of a young Ernesto as he goes on a journey throughout Latin America.
Inside the Book

Table of Contents with chapter titles
The author seems to write in a detailed and meticulous manner from the page that I read. It is very dull reading.
Overall Impressions: I feel somewhat conflicted between the Glen Beck segment and my preview on the novel. From the novel, I expect a dull account of a young man trying to find his way in life while traveling through Latin America. From Glen Beck’s account, I expected Guevara to be some bloodthirsty executioner. I suppose I will just have to read the book to fully understand this apparent discrepancy.
As far as general interest in the novel, I have very little. I anticipate struggling through yet another book this marking period. At least this one is short so it will likely be more endurable than Invisible Man.
