En julio de 2006 un avion de la DEA saco a Virginia Vallejo de Colombia. Su vida estaba en peligro por haberse convertido en el testigo clave de los dos procesos criminales mas importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en su pais: el asesinato de un candidato presidencial y el holocausto del Palacio de Justicia. Veinticinco anos antes, Virginia Vallejo era la presentadora de television mas importante de Colombia y la belleza profesional que aparecia en las portadas de las principales revistas. Cortejada por multimillonarios tradicionales, conocio en 1982 a Pablo Escobar, un misterioso politico de treinta y tres anos que en realidad manejaba los hilos de un mundo de riqueza inigualable en el que gran parte del incesante flujo de dinero procedente del trafico de cocaina se canalizaba a proyectos de caridad y a las campanas de candidatos presidenciales de su eleccion. Este libro, una apasionada historia de amor convertida en cronica del horror y la verguenza, describe la evolucion de una de las mentes criminales mas siniestras de nuestro tiempo: su capacidad de infundir terror y generar corrupcion, los vinculos entre sus negocios ilicitos y varios jefes de estado, los asesinatos de candidatos presidenciales y la guerra en que sumio a su pais. Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar es tambien la unica vision intima posible del legendario baron del narcotrafico, plena de glamour y espiritu de supervivencia y no exenta de humor. Virginia Vallejo narra esta historia descarnada como nadie mas podria haberlo hecho."

I loved this book. What a study in contrasts! The protagonist (Virginia Vallejo) visits a slum and states that it changed her life; you can practically feel her thinking of herself as the next Mother Teresa. Next chapter she is spending $100K worth of dope money on Fifth Avenue. Yet I like her and feel for her for the simple reason that she has written in total honesty, baring her soul for what it's worth. Pablo Escobar, though less well rendered, is an equally fascinating character, combining intense drive, intelligence and charm in the package of a sociopath.
