I’ve always been fascinated by Colombia and Pablo Escobar and their intertwined story and will greedily devour anything regarding the subject. I’ve watched countless documentaries and fictional movies based on the stories but this is the first book I read on the subject. It absolutely won’t be my last though, this book has officially started a new addiction. It was so well written and offered such a unique perspective of the whole ordeal since it was written by Escobar’s son and I really couldn’t have loved it more and can’t recommend it highly enough!

"In a way, my father [Pablo Escobar] reached a certain degree of sincerity that I became to know and I would even say appreciate because I would have rather had my father treat me like this rather than as an idiot that would never have any idea about what was happening around us."

Prieš paimdama šią knygą į rankas apie Pablo Escobaro žinojau tik tiek, kad jis buvo galingiausias Kolumbijos ir visos Pietų Amerikos narkotikų prekeivis. Ką gi, knyga davė gana detalų ir ydomų pasakojimą apie jį patį kaip šeimos žmogų ir draugą. Tikėjausi daugiau pasakojimo apie narkotikų kontrabandą ir kaip viskas veikia, bet apie tai buvo gana mažai parašyta. Negalėjau skaityti tu dalių, kuriose jo sūnus verkšleno ir skundėsi, kaip jam nepasisekė, kad neteko viso turto. Skaitydama varčiau akis ir galvojau kaip toks tėvas gali užaugint toki nevykėlį sūnų, kuris viskuo skundžiasi, atrodo lyg prašo skaitytojų jo gailėtis, nes o varge kaip jam nepasisekė. Visa kita knygos dalis, kuri buvo sukoncentruota i Pablo Escobaro patiko, patiko paskaitinėti apie jo nevaržomą gyvenimą ir auksinius laikus.

This writing style of this book made it a pretty rough to read. It was pure information dump with unclear transitions. I wasn’t sure when a story was more or less impactful than the one before it, and was often confused as to how it related. There were so many people and Escobar often would introduce someone briefly only to talk about them pages/chapters later with the assumption we should know who they were or why they were significant.
The subject itself was compelling enough to get me through it, but even that turned a bit sour when you hear about the author *finally* getting asylum in Mozambique (basically the only country to allow them passage) only to leave days later because they couldn’t handle the poor surroundings, saying he’d rather risk his life in Columbia than live in those conditions. Mmmkayyy

É um relato íntimo sobre o lado familiar de um dos maiores e mais violentos traficantes da história. A vida de Pablo vista pelo filho, que mesmo depois da morte do pai tem de lidar com as consequências dos atos deste. Histórias desconhecidas e verdades repostas. Essencial para quem tem curiosidade sobre esta tão simbólica figura, capaz do melhor e do pior
