It’s interesting to see the effects that Pablo left on his own family - how they’re still dealing with the heavyweight the name Escobar brings to this day.

It was definitely an eye-opening read. I know the name Pablo Escobar but never really had a grasp on the nitty gritty of what he was famous for; this novel dives into that. Written by - and from the perspective of - his son, it outlines the turmoil and hardship the family had to go through because of their father, not necessarily because of anything they did. Is this book objective? No. Is it possible there were omissions so as not to paint the family in a bad light? Possibly. It’s hard to know what really happened and who was really involved in what, especially with so many parties now not with us/veer strongly one way or the other.

Üks aegade kurikuulsamatest kriminaalidest on saanud biograafia, kuid tavapärasest teistsuguse nurga alt - loo paneb kirja tema poeg, kes elas üle nii koledaid kui ilusaid aegu. Oma narkokaubandusega seotud julmustükkidest hoolimata oli Pablo Escobar siiski inimene ja isa. Pole halba ilma heata. Just see perspektiiv teeb raamatus kirjutatud loo usalduslikumaks ja emotsionaalsemaks. Tuleb tõdeda, et kuigi autor on lubanud oma isa tegude eest elu lõpuni vabandust paluda, siis raamat tõi nii kannatuste kui ka ebaõigluse kohalt pisara silmanurka.
Raamat tekitas suure isu vaadata uuesti läbi Narcose telesari, mis on filmitud suurepäraste osatäitjatega, kuid sellegipoolest Pablo Escobari kritiseerivast vaatenurgast. Raamat aga oli kiire tempoga, lihtsa ülesehitusega ning kirjutatud-tõlgitud oskuslikult.

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

After watching 'Narcos', this was an interesting and enlightening read. A bit repetitive and the timeline was winding, but moving and thoughtfully written.

Chato, aborrecido, metade do livro fala sobre os problemas familiares que tiveram ao fazer partilhas LOL
