Summary: Another great book from Mark Bowden.
Review: Bowden is a great writer. I like his style. I read Black Hawk Down in two days, and I read this book in the same time. If someone wants an intensive read, these are both great reads. Anybody will realize the outcome of this book. It is the killing of an evil man. In this book though, you also see the debate between people about the methods used in the killing of this evil man. There are some that will only use civilized, lawful means. Others will use means that will destroy the evil using the methods used by the evil men. I think we face the same problem today with Osama. How do we destroy evil using the methods of the civilized world. Bowden relates the stories of Los Pepes, and the use of methods to take apart the infrastructure of Pablo Escobar's empire.
This is a great book. For those wanting a great read for several days, this would be a great read and a great addition to your library.

Summary: Glad he is dead
Review: I finished this book in just under 2 days. If you want an easy "disturbing" read about an evil guy, this is the one. The end of the book is given away in the title, but its still good.

Summary: Reading Pablo
Review: I picked up this book because I really liked Black Hak Down. This book is written in the same style that made BHD a great book. There is great attention to detail, personal portraits of the characters, and an ever-evolving storyline. My exposure to Pablo Escobar before this book was just a brief understanding that he was a drug dealer from way back. Other than that I could not tell you much about the guy. But after reading this book, I have a much better understanding of the man and why the U.S. wanted him neutralized. Great read. Quick read. Must buy.
