La parábola de Pablo [Paul's Parable]

Listening to 'La parábola de Pablo' was an intense, often unsettling experience. The story is so well-researched and compellingly told that it's easy to forget you're listening to the life of a notorious criminal, not a fictional thriller. Dardés' narration is exceptional, his ability to convey emotion and tension without overacting is a testament to his skill. The pacing is spot-on, balancing the need to cover Escobar's life story with the desire to delve deep into specific events and their consequences. My only critique is that at times, the detailed descriptions of violence can feel gratuitous, but it's a small price to pay for a book that doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of its subject matter. Overall, this is a must-listen for true crime enthusiasts and anyone interested in a nuanced exploration of power, crime, and the human psyche.
