The popular television series Narcos captures only half the truth. Here, at last, is the full story.

Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the most infamous drug kingpin of all time. But these versions have always been told from the outside, never from the intimacy of his own home.

More than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with the king of cocaine, Juan Pablo Escobar travels to the past to reveal an unabridged version of his father - a man capable of committing the most extreme acts of cruelty while simultaneously professing infinite love for his family.

This is not the story of a child seeking redemption for his father but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and the overwhelming need for peace and forgiveness.

This is my kind of story. Gives me a different view on Pablo which I expected was out there. Pablo’s family should be ashamed of themselves after his passing. I saw Pablos brother Roberto on the news trying to sue people for using Pablos name, this book made me realize he should be sued for wasting oxygen.

Well done Juan Pablo

Pablo Escobar is full of moral contradictions. A violent indiscriminate killer with a tender heart for family, friends and community. I enjoyed that the story described both the humanity and the inhumanity. I wonder what choices the son would have made if Pablo and the family would not have been hunted.

I couldn't stop to the book. It provided me a glimpse into the world of what the Escobar family experienced during the reign of the Medellin cartel. It felt like a fairly unbiased, albeit apologetic version of events. It also humanized Pablo Escobar and showed the far reaching effects and consequences of his actions on his family.
The narration was also very well done as it was not recites in a monotone.
This audiobook took me right into the heart of the Medellin cartel and allowed me a fly-in-the-wall perspective. Great job!

Great glimpse into the world of the Escobar family
