from Verso
Customer Review:
Very good book to read to learn what goes on in the head on Che. He shares his emotions and passion for life and everything that comes along with it. This book is based more on his personal opinions, likes and dislikes. You would get the opportunity to get in his head and read his thoughts. A little... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Lonely Planet Publications
Customer Review:
Basically the layout and info is good, though some important stuff was outdated,ie current location of the terminal terrestre (bus station) in Quito (This created some testy, but fun conversation with the taxi driver). One thing to beware of---the map symbols and numbers are miniscule. Granted, I am... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Of all the travel books I've read over the years, this is the one I always come back to. It's an extraordinary work: a brilliant mix of journey, revelation, history, people of another land, another time. I marvel at Chatwin's gift of language, his insights into the ways and means of how the people... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Galapagos Travel
Customer Review:
Product as advertised. Information good but based on 2004 data, not really current information for planned travel in 2008. This is the problem with printed reviews versus online data. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I like to travel and to observe the cities, landscapes, the plants and animals and the human inhabitants of the countries I go to. So does Levy-Strauss, and he is a fantastic observer, much more sharp-eyed than I could ever hope to be, and a highly entertaining writer. In this classic he talks about... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

This a a most excellent book that can be compared to nothing else. When I read Lucas Bridges's story about his early life in Tierra Fuego he gave me a part of history that I otherwise couldn't have made my own. I was especially touched by the way he introduced me to the Indians of Tierra... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

I enjoyed this book & felt I learned a lot about the heart of South America - mainly Peru, Columbia & Brazil. If you are into white-water sports then there is no doubt this is a 5 star book. I enjoyed it but to me it was a good 4 star book. I found the first half of the book dragged a little... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Ten Speed Press
Customer Review:
This book revealed what Barbara was living, not editing out what was politically correct, not covering up the flying mistakes that would be embarrassing to most, not holding back on insights of strong dominate individuals in her life who can make decisions difficult in and out of the cockpit.
