Book Reviews of Drug Lords: The Rise and Fall of the Cali Cartel

Book Review: Fascinating story but...
Summary: 2 Stars

The blurb on the back says "If you liked Mark Bowden's Killing Pablo, you'll love this. Remarkable." I'd say "If you liked Mark Bowden's Killing Pablo, you'll think this is ok. Disappointing."

The story of the Cali Cartel is undoubtedly a really interesting story (possibly more so than the Medellin Cartel) and this is an interesting read but IMO it is not brilliantly written - typo's, grammatical errors and some inconsistency here and there. Worth a read but a bit "tabloid" in my view.
