This was a Good Story

Storyline was good and very believable, actually probably more realistic then most people think. I like the 2 main characters in this Story and how they meet and get into trying to decipher what is really going on that they seem to be in the middle of.
Narrator at first does the female voices poorly, but as the book continues he gets perty good at it. Narrator's dogs are barking in background in parts of this Audible book and this needs to be addressed.

Great book

The Drug Lord tells the true story of a powerful drug dealer and how he built and lost his empire. Listening to the audiobook made the experience even better. The narrator used different tones and voices for each character, which brought the story to life and made it feel like a movie. It was exciting, emotional, and very easy to follow. A great choice for anyone interested in true crime or real-life drama.

Keeps the story moving

I struggle to stay awake on long drives and lately even listening to books has been putting me to sleep. However, this book held my interest and kept me alert. The narration was clear and easy to understand and follow. Great job.

Could Not Stop Listening

All of Joel Barrows books, are genius. His professional background gives credibility to every story he writes story. The characters are all diverse and will hold yo captive for an incredible journey. The narration is great and brings life to each character enthralling you in the world Barrows created. I highly recommend this audiobook!

Drug Lords

This sounded like a good read when I read the synopsis.I can imagine it was,in print. I started listening on my phone.It sounded like it was recorded in a can.The words were also way too slow.I switched to Alexa. No more can sound but word spacing and not so well done voices put me off.Back to iphone so I could turn the speed up. I couldn't finish it. I was given this book free for an honest review.
