Pablo Escobar: My Father by Juan Pablo Escobar
2.0
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
