This book was a quick read because it was very interesting. Although it’s hard to feel any sort of sympathy for drug traffickers, this real-life story about Pablo Escobar makes him seem like a modern day Robin-Hood to his people. Each story has two sides and this one definitely takes you to that other side, to see what it’s like to walk in the shoes of a different person.
I liked the way this book was able to take you into the busy city streets of Columbia as well as to the hidden jungles where many laboratories were built to make cocaine; it made me feel like I was actually there. What really stood out above everything else were the translations from Spanish to English; they were right on target and I’ve never seen a better job done when it comes to translating. I’m not sure if there is a movie planned for this book but it sure would be a great idea!
