You can speed through the 330+ pages very quickly. Mark Bowden tells another great story with an amazing level of detail. How he manages to get so much detail from his research is amazing. It makes the characters come to life and you understand why each player - from street thug, to con man, to college student - is in the drug game. Similar plot line to the movie Blow, but so much more detailed.
