Review of 'La vida no es fácil, papi' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

There are several basic questions about Tanja's involvement with the FARC. This book unravels just one, the why. As of, what does she thinks know, what is her real relationship with the other members of the guerrilla, what is her stand on the kidnapping/retention of militaries it says nothing. Even worse, Botero never asks the difficult questions, nor to Tanja, nor to Jojoy. While guerrilla fighting is uneven by description, journalism shall not. The book only shows one side of the story, halfway between chronicle, editorial and interview.
