Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter by Carmen Aguirre
3.0
I really wanted to love this one since it was the winner of the Canada Reads 2012 and I did like it but I didn't love it. I would give it another 1/2 star if possible.
I certainly learned a lot about Latin America, although at times I flip back and forth to keep track of the different leaders and what Country they were from.
I expected more emotion from the author since it was her story to tell - there is a lot of description of what happens but not a lot about how these journeys affected her. I can't even image what it would have been like to live that life.
