Great Redemption Story

The alcoholic is a sometimes dark story of redemption and the pains of addiction. It was incredibly well read by the author who did a great job of bringing the story to life and making it engaging. I was surprised how quickly I got through it considering the running time. If your a fan of a redemption stories this which be a great addition to the collection.

exhilaration and lots of introspection.

It's a great story. It's fun to read, but it also brings you exhilaration and lots of introspectin. The tension between Roland's public persona and his private demons made his character relatable and compelling. But where the novel went really well was in the underbelly of being famous, Roland getting so addicted that it became reckless, opening up a whole can of secret crimes that he had pulled. Suspense builds thicker and thicker as violent situations keep surfacing from left and right, keeping me literally on the edge of my chair. A reminder of both the greatness of man and his self-destruction, this is a book that begs to question addiction, fame, and just about the choices available in life.

This is a great book it's deep, it draws you in

This is a great book it's deep, it draws you into that world 25 hours long - addiction it's quite dark but it balances that with the other aspects of the book. it's a thriller really draws you into the characters they're developed with highs and lows, there's light and shade. I really enjoyed it so I would recommend it

Gripping, Gritty, and Surprisingly Deep – A Must-Read

This book took me by surprise in all the best ways. What starts as a story about addiction and inner demons quickly evolves into a powerful, fast-paced tale of redemption, consequence, and the complicated path to healing. Roland Hazzard is a deeply human character—flawed, brilliant, and heartbreakingly real. The writing pulls no punches, yet still carries a raw emotional honesty that lingers long after the final page. With sharp social commentary, unexpected twists, and a unique vigilante twist, this book goes far beyond the surface. It’s bold, thought-provoking, and absolutely worth the read.

Entertaining and hard to put down!

I really enjoyed listening to this book, adn it was quite difficult to put down! It is a story that explores talent, addiction, and redemption. The protagonist, Roland Hazzard, is a man of exceptional abilities whose life is overshadowed by his struggle with alcohol. Flanagan masterfully blends dark humor with introspective drama, which creates a story that is both entertaining and makes you think. The story protrays Roland's internal battles really well, and give the readers a great look into the complexities of addiction and the resilience of the human spirit. This book is a must-read for those seeking a deep and engaging story about personal triumph over adversity.

A great guide

I listened to The Alcoholic and was completely drawn into Roland Hazzard’s gripping journey. His struggle with addiction, fame, and past mistakes makes for a raw and compelling story. TS Flanagan’s narration brings every moment to life, making it feel personal and immersive. A powerful mix of thriller and deep character study.

great listen

Roland is one of those guys who could have had it all but nah he went all in on booze instead. Dude accidentally kills a serial killer and that's wild, rides the internet fame wave and somehow manages to make his life even messier. The whole vigilante hero but also a trainwreck thing is fun until it isn't and his downward spiral is both frustrating and weirdly entertaining.
