review 1: Was delighted someone so close to Pablo got to write a book like this. it doesn't take long to get into the action (as brothers half the book potentially could have been about growing up etc) but no Roberto gets to the nitty griity in good time. I was gripped to this book and felt like I was on a roller coaster for most of it. it was a very exciting book and shows how clever these dark souls were. The attention to detail isn't fantastic in this book which is a shame but the man lived a very unique life and to be able to read about it from right up top along pablo is an experience for sure. Anyone with an interest in the 80's Coke boom era and Pablo this is a must read
review 2: The story of Pablo Escobar and how he started out, written by his brother and chi... moreef accountant. Very biased to all the good deeds by Pablo (building schools, churches, helping the poor) while he bribed and murdered government officials and started the global expansion of cocaine. Details how money was laundered through companies, the use of Hawalas and trade-based money laundering schemes. A good book. A glimpse into how much cocaine is produced and how much money the drug cartels make. less
