What I found fascinating about this book - apart from the story itself, which is fascinating - is Bowden's ability to tell the story in such a way that at times I actually sympathized for Pablo, and other times hated him. His telling of a story that is somewhat farcical and unreal at times (i.e. shutting down all usage of cell phones in Medellin, or the unending killing of so many innocent people) was very real.It's a page turner, and makes me want to learn more about how the demand for drugs will always inspire supply, which boggles my mind as to why the US is spending so much money attacking supply. The problem is at home.
