'An asthma sufferer, like Ernesto Guevara / Too much Monte Cristo Number Four / Pass the Ventolin, I need some more / We have ways of making you think ...' - Super Furry Animals, 'Hermann ♥s Pauline'
A nice, speedy, enaging biography of the world's most iconic revolutionary. The man led a hell of a life. Although Rodriguez doesn't gloss over the man's flaws too much, this is an explicitly reverent book. It doesn't go super deep, because it's very short and uses a comic-strip format, and I don't know if I'd have bought it if Verso Books hadn't been doing a sale (big up Verso). But if you're interested in revolutionary history and don't want to read a hefty 'proper' biography, you'll enjoy this.
I like the artwork but Rodriguez cannot draw John F Kennedy for shit.
