I read a fiction involving magic that was easier to believe than Che's life.
The book is very long, it picks up speed slowly while Che grows up in Argentina and rides a motorcycle around South America. From the moment he meets Fidel it picks up really fast, it's hard to believe that a person's life can change so quickly.
The Cuban revolution and everything else until the very end when Che Guevara's luck runs out is an absolute blast.
I learned a lot of interesting things about the USA, Argentina, Cuba, Fidel, their revolution, about the Sino-Soviet split, and of course about Ernesto himself.
The author is also a very interesting dude - a war correspondent and investigative journalist. While he was doing the research for the book - he found Che's grave in Bolivia, the location of which was a mystery for 30 years.
The book's voice acting is great, the narrator pronounces all the South American names and titles with a South American accent, which I tried to reproduce and couldn't.
Absolutely would recommend.

Heartbreaking book. At times I had to stop listening just to not cry right in the middle of the street.
I think everyone should at least try to read it and challenge their perception of the United States as a bastion of freedom and democracy. All people (including Americans) would benefit from a realistic view of world order.

A nice little play about the aftermath of the Trojan War. Apparently, Euripides was staunchly anti-war at a time when that was an extremely unpopular stance, especially with the invasion of Sicily looming on the horizon; I appreciate and respect him for that. He managed to portray the horrors of war very well within such a short play. I recommend reading it if you're up for some poetry.

Good book, interesting tensions between Syracusans and failed invaders Athenians. The story is a bit slow but definitely has its moments. But I wasn't particularly invested in it or the characters until very late in the book, I wouldn't say at any point in the book I was interested in what was going to happen next - just a sad story with a side of crushed skulls here and there.

Narration by the author is not perfect but still good, considering Irish accent/dialect of the book I bet author knew better how to read them.

3.5/5

Easy to read and understand. The economic part is extremely good - explains variable and constant capital, surplus value, rate of surplus, rate of profit. Those concepts give you more ideas to explore and scenarios to imagine (like what if we replace half of the workers with AI). The ideological part is so-so, but it's not much, so not a problem.
