"another great historical fiction. This is fiction, however, the language is very colorful, the events are real the visuals are wonderful, the relationships that are built become so clear like I actually know the individual characters in the pages. Great reading "

" cerita yang romantis. novel. berusaha untuk bercerita tentang sisi roman che guevara yang tak banyak diketahui orang. mengantarkan cerita pada masa lalu melalui sebuah surat. dan menggambarkan kondisi kuba dari sudut pandang rakyat sipil "
— Dena, 2/26/2011" Doesn't really have many historical facts. "
— Karen, 1/3/2011" I have such an interest in Che Guevera - probably just that bad boy thing that's plagued me my whole life. I always enjoy historical fiction "
— Ginger, 9/8/2010" Beautifully written. A little upset it is fiction or it would have been a different side of Che to see...quick read "
— Histteach24, 5/22/2010" This was a "hot" little book. Was Che' real or not? I enjoyed the story. "
— Kathy, 1/17/2010" For some reason (I suspect my general, not entirely healthy assumption that all Cuban American authors are "conservative"), I expected not to like this novel very much. But indeed, its great. "
— Ariana, 9/14/2009" I started reading this book for the country (Cuba) and finished it for the lyrical writing. While largely thoughtful and engaging, the storyline was at times too fanciful for my liking. I’m looking forward to reading more by Menendez. "
— Jackson, 4/29/2009" Interesting and surprising. This lingers and makes the reader think about the possibilities that could be. Can't say anymore or I will give too much away! "
— Wiserblond, 4/28/2009" Altho this is a work of fiction, it has so much history! The main character weaves a wonderful web of curiosity searching for her father, and all the adventures of the search. Very good. That is about all I can rememeber that I would definately read it again. "
