Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar…
Para mi sorpresa, la exdiva y simbolo sexual en los setentas y ochentas Virginia Vallejo posee gran pluma y estilo. Su voz te engancha rápidamente en el relato, quizás debido a la curiosa ‘morbosidad’ por conocer algunos detalles de la vida privada del Capo Pablo Escobar. Su voz es activa y su gran ego se demuestra al voltear cada página del libro. Virginia menciona muchas veces su piel ‘dorada’, sus vestidos de las marcas más famosas en europa y en America, sus...more

"Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar" would be the English translation. I picked it up just to practice my Spanish, interesting insight into the drug lord world. Left me a bit angry. I think the author tries to make the reader sympathetic and bring humanity to the characters but she fails, these are all terrible people in a terrible world.
They should make this book required reading in Latin American studies programs. Virginia Vallejo is better known for being a socialite, model, newscaster/journalist, and actress; but I am disappointed that she didn't write any more books. Vallejos conceit becomes a bit much at times with the inventories of the millionaire boyfriends who couldn't capture her heart the way that Pablo Escobar did. She portrays herself as some kind of millionaire saint from the highest echelons of Colombian society,...more
Different point of view of so many years of violence
muy bueno
Muy buen relato.
This is Virginia Vallejo's version of her relationship with Pablo Escobar, and of Colombia's history during the late 80's and early 90's. As Escobar's lover she seems to have had a front row seat to some of the biggest events in Colombia's recent history.

It is an amazing book that tells a story about one of the biggest drug dealers in my lovely Colombia. Is a great book. It drugs on in certain parts but overall is an amazing book and extremely interesting.
The ending was sad. but, it a true story and that is part of the magic.

Excellent! This is a bioghraphy story about Virginia Vallejo, her details of her live make the book special and a lot of sense.
Virgina Valejo is an opportunist and probably was way more involved in the Cartels than she let on...
