Summary
The mind-blowing true story of Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel beyond their portrayal on Netflix.
Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was a devoted family man and a psychopathic killer; a terrible enemy, yet a wonderful friend. While donating millions to the poor, he bombed and tortured his enemies - some had their eyeballs removed with hot spoons. Through ruthless cunning and America's insatiable appetite for cocaine, he became a multi-billionaire, who lived in a $100-million house with its own zoo.
Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos demolishes the standard good versus evil telling of his story. The authorities were not hunting Pablo down to stop his cocaine business. They were taking it over.
Shaun Attwood's War on Drugs trilogy - Pablo Escobar, American Made, and We Are Being Lied To - is a series of harrowing, action-packed and interlinked true stories that demonstrate the catastrophic consequences of drug prohibition.

phenomenal!
Pablo was not only a modern day Robin Hood, but a major player in the chess game he was playing not only with the U.S. The Columbian government and other Cartels. He really was so misunderstood and you need to listen to the true story!

Too fast
Read too fast with no punctuation. Reader must not have heard of pauses or full stops! Difficult to keep up with it at times. Had to manually slow it down

Very enjoyable
A real insite into narcos and politics. Would definitely recommend. The only downside being I had to listen on .75 speed as the narration was 'on speed'!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Would you consider the audio edition of Pablo Escobar to be better than the print version?
Cannot comment only heard the audio
What was one of the most memorable moments of Pablo Escobar?
I could not pick one moment in the book I found the whole book fascinating, his story is incredibly interesting, seeing the good the bad & the ugly side of this man.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
All of it, the story unfolded in such a way that I couldn't wait to listen to the next chapter and have a better understanding how Pablo Escobar practically ruled a country
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I was surprised that I felt a little sad when Pablo Escobar was finally killed, I don't condone any of the grotesque things that he did, but the book gives a good incite on how corrupt the US was and the Columbian government and how they mirrored a lot of the things that Pablo Escobar did but did not have to answer to anyone!!
Any additional comments?
I would strongly recommend this book, I found it totally fascinating. 10/10
