Just got Motorcycle Diaries & The African Dream

[Knowledge 6 6 6]

so far the beginning of the motorcycle diaries is very descriptive. He was definitely good at writing about his surroundings. The metaphors and the adjectives used are very well-done...

I havent started on the African Dream, but i hear its good...

anyone read these titles? What'd you think of it?
