Dopefiend

De: Donald Goines

Narrado por: Kevin Kenerly

The shocking nightmare story of a black heroin addict

Trapped in the festering sore of a major American ghetto, a young man and his girlfriend - both attractive, talented, and full of promise - are inexorably pulled into the living death of the hardcore junkie. It is a horrifying world where addicts will do anything to get their next fix.

For 23 years of his young life, Donald Goines lived in the dark, despair-ridden world of the junkie. It started while he was doing military service in Korea and ended with his murder in his late 30s. He had worked up to a hundred-dollars-a-day habit - and out of the agonizing hell came Dopefiend.

Good Read!

A "Page Turner!" Excellent narration. Great voice changes. Story is as relavant today as it was in the 1970's.

love this book

love Donald's books. Listening to it was really nice. the person thatread it off made it really nice to listen to

awesome

I have always loved this book. I have read it at least 5 times over, starting when I was about 15 yrs old. it is gritty & raw to say the least. hearing it narrated was an absolute treat!! I love Donald Goines! The narrator was fantastic! Well done!

Disturbing world of Drugs

The book was interesting enough, it's an old book told at a different time but a lot is still relevant. The story keeps you in engaged but three are soft vet disturbing parts and acts. Be prepared for very explicit disgusting acts of human depravity.

Wow

Donald Goines has done it again superb storytelling!! You feel as if you are right in the moment with these characters! Sad 😢 but life unfortunately!

Story,,,Narration ====EXCELLENT

I couldn't stop listening!..Kevin is a very talented voice actor I could listen to him time after time!.... I've read a couple of Mr.Goines books in the 90s. His art for storytelling never disappoints. This story is raw street fiction to the core. I loved it..The streets and everything that comes along with it, has got NO love!!!.... POWERFUL!

Truly a page turner

good book loved the narrator he did great.. Didn't want it to stop. just took me to the. Jaw dropping riveting.. could not have been narrated better

Wow

It was a hard read at times. I had to stop on several occasions, because even though this was fictional, for a lot of people this is an ugly truth. Tragic story, written beautifully. I’ve heard novels read by this “story teller” before and he never disappoints.

Needs Screenplay Adaptation!

No, seriously. This needs to be a movie NOW. Set it in the 70s. Period films are popular now.

wow

the narrator was easy to listen to... I enjoyed the book. I would recommend this book. he took me into the life of an addict and it was not pretty.
