I have read most if not all of GGM's books and Hundred Years is my least favorite. You might like his News of a Kidnapping, a non-fiction book by the former journalist, which recounts the kidnapping of a handful of prominent figures in Colombia by the Medellín Cartel in the 90s. I recently reread it after watching Narcos, which portrays the kidnapping of journalist Diana Turbay, which is also discussed in the book.

Oh cool, that sounds like it'd be worth reading for sure. I saw a not-100%-verified quote on Wikipedia where he says No One Writes to the Colonel is his favorite book that he's written, and I certainly enjoyed it the most so far.
