The Final Revival of Opal & Nev WINS 2021 AUDIE Best Fiction (And a Golden Earphone Award.) "THE GENE" VOTED BEST AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR BY AMAZON ME Voted One Of the Best Voices of 2011 AMERICAN GODS AND 2010 for THE BURNING WIRE and Stephen King's FIRESTARTER
Some books are a chore and some books are, well, Dave Marsh....'nuff said.
"Dennis Boutsikaris performs this selection of essays published between 1982 and 2017 with a driving energy that sounds exactly right for Dave Marsh’s smart-alecky writing. Boutsikaris’s quick pacing and assertive diction infuse the listening with the same immediacy that makes Marsh’s arresting opinions so entertaining and thought provoking." Thank you Audiofile...
VOTED ONE OF THE BEST AUDIOBOOKS of 2022 by Barnes & Noble (remember bookstores??)And BEST OF AUDIBLE 2022
From AUDIOFILE:
This is the second of Mukherjee's audiobooks that Dennis Boutsikaris has narrated, after 2017's THE GENE. In this expansive history of the researchers who unlocked the mysteries of the cell, Boutsikaris demonstrates again the importance of an experienced narrator in shaping a complex narrative. Using many of his skills as a narrator of bestselling thrillers, Boutsikaris shades a syllable here, adds a degree of emphasis there, heightening and bringing dramatic tension to a history that is already skillfully told and highly accessible but, at times, unavoidably dense. This is a narrative to digest slowly, step by step. The chapters are conveniently brief, and it's no effort to listen to such an adept performer a second, even a third, time.

FROM AUDIBLE BEST OF 2022:
"In a pitch-perfect performance from narrator Dennis Boutsikaris, The Song of the Cell is an ambitious blend of medical history, biology, and memoir that explains how the discovery of cells transformed our understanding of the body, a breakthrough with particular resonance in the context of Covid."
Hear me say names like Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. Don't try this at home.
Audiofile: "Veteran voice pro Dennis Boutsikaris delivers this fast-moving memoir with documentary clarity and exceptional resonance with the author's deeply personal story and observations. With his totally authentic phrasing and tonal palette, Boutsikaris sounds like the author, bobbing and weaving through the cultural upheaval that began in the 1960s and upended everything we took for granted about music, being young, and the prevailing moral order..." Thanks, but "PRO"??? 
Its like a trip through his datebook. Want to know when he had lunch with someone named Jagger? Or if Dylan is "FUN"? You've come to the right place. I've done the unauthorized and the authorized. But have i ever been on the Cover? (Hint: NO)

THE AGE OF WOOD
"Narrator Dennis Boutsikaris, no stranger to nonfiction, performs a re-examination of human evolution that puts our arboreal origins at its hub. Boutsikaris takes on a conversational tone, which increases the accessibility of this well-researched audiobook by helping listeners connect with the importance of trees, not only for humankind's physical development but also for our sociocultural and technological advances...."

"I first fell in love with “American Gods” when I was fifteen. Neil Gaiman’s sprawling novel, from 2001, had influences that at the time I hadn’t really encountered—echoes of Tim O’Brien, Don DeLillo, and Stephen King, not to mention the mythologies it explicitly draws from—and that were completely exhilarating for a suburban teen-ager.....From Gaiman’s mannered British interludes to the expert narration of Dennis Boutsikaris....."

"Narrators Dennis Boutsikaris and Dagmara Dominczyk bring to life this compelling story of the impact of ALS on a patient and his caregivers. Boutsikaris gets inside the mind and spirit of Richard, a world-renowned pianist who is blindsided with his diagnosis at the height of his career. His voice runs the gamut from disbelief to depressed resignation. As the disease progresses, we hear in Boutsikaris's voice the painful struggle as communication becomes more challenging"
