The Life and Times of Cocaine Charlie

By: Charles T. H. Woods

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

An unrepentant true crime memoir about the life of a man who sold and used cocaine daily for thirty-eight years. A man with over fifty years of involvement with illegal drugs starting at the age of thirteen. Offering a fair and balanced account of how drugs and drug dealing affected his life, those closest to him as well as the lives of others. This is a different kind of drug dealer story. The kind you don't hear. The kind they don't want told.

AI Narration

The AI narration absolutely blows! Pay human voice talent for the love of baby Jesus. Listening to this narration was like having a telecom company’s automated support line speak to me for more hours than I sleep in a night. So frustrating

It was told as a real story

the voice would change tempo, it was weird. The story itself was good. It's a good listen

His raw honesty.

Not long enough. I wish the author would have given a few more details about his early life.

Not a fan of AI narration

I enjoyed the story, had some comedic moments. The story itself made up for the mispronunciation in the AI at points.

Captivating story

It was a very interesting business he had and I enjoyed hearing his life story. My family has struggles with other addiction and i like to hear the stories of others and how they’ve coped with alcohol/drugs. I find it very interesting that he sold drugs for decades and wasn’t an addict. He didn’t mention having withdrawals while in jail, but I assume he must’ve had withdrawal symptoms. Isn’t that the biggest fear from addicts? From what I’ve always read or watched, it’s the reason why they continue to abuse drugs and alcohol.
