EARPHONE AWARD FROM Audiofile Magazine
So proud to have read this wonderful book from my good friend DANIEL WOLFF
Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Labor Relations all connected by one great song.
“No matter how much you think you know about Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, you’re wrong… This is the best sense anyone has ever made about the connection between them, and the best reappraisal either has had in a couple of decades.” (Dave Marsh)
“In Grown-Up Anger, Daniel Wolff assembles an American triad to raise the ghosts of greed and misery. Through memory, music, and a clear insight into the emotional process of protest, Wolff reminds us of how it did, and how it does, ultimately feel.” (Patti Smith)

AUDIOFILE MAGAZINE REVIEW
"If excellence in audiobook narration means doing everything right while seeming to do little or nothing, Dennis Boutsikaris sets a standard here. In a feat of storytelling, Wolff has combined his own personal history growing up in Northern Michigan with the life stories of Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, and the intertwined histories of American folk music and radical politics. A notorious event in the labor movement, the Calumet Massacre, is a featured connection. Boutsikaris's reading is expressive but restrained, calculatingly understated in the manner of the music and performers he's describing. No accents or half-sung lyrics mar a performance that matches the text in every nuance yet never draws attention to itself. Here's a narrative that engages the heart and mind for a deeply satisfying listening experience. "

From Michael Lewis, the Story of Two Friends Who Changed How We Think About the Way We Think
"Most decisions we make are based, in some part, on irrationality-- sometimes referred to as a gut feeling or intuition. Author Michael Lewis simplifies the brain-boggling lifework of Amos Tversky and Danny Kahneman, who developed the new discipline of behavioral economics to explain the seeming irrationality of financial decision making. Narrator Dennis Boutsikaris' faultless and cogent reading keeps the project moving...."

THE BLACK-EYED BLONDE :
A Philip Marlowe Novel
Benjamin Black
Read by Dennis Boutsikaris
What fun to be back in 1950s Los Angeles with Philip Marlowe as imagined by Benjamin Black, aka acclaimed Irish author John Banville. Dennis Boutsikaris narrates with marvelous aplomb. In this new take on Raymond Chandler's iconic P.I., he meets a cool blonde and acquires a dangerous case. She walks in one hot summer day and asks Marlowe to find her vanished boyfriend. Marlowe agrees to look and meets a whole lot of trouble along the way. Boutsikaris nails the cool but inviting tone, the clipped tempo, the razor and the velvet of such a tale. He differentiates between characters without overacting, and does a more than passable female--shades of Lauren Bacall, in fact. This is a perfect weekend listen.

“It was one of those summer Tuesday afternoons when you begin to wonder if the earth has stopped revolving. The telephone on my desk had the look of something that knows it’s being watched. Traffic trickled by in the street below, and there were a few pedestrians, too, men in hats going nowhere.”

L.A. Times Review BOURNE LEGACY
"Complex, unexpected and dazzling, alternating relentless tension with resonant emotional moments, this is an exemplary espionage thriller that has a strong sense of what it wants to accomplish and how best to get there. And it is impeccably cast, from stars Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton on down."

THE BRENNER ASSIGNMENT :
The Untold Story of the Most Daring Spy Mission of WWII
Patrick K. O'Donnell
Read by Dennis Boutsikaris
In a story so full of plot twists, intrigue, danger, and violent death as to top any bestseller list, O'Donnell recounts the true story of a U.S. mission to sabotage a critical Nazi supply route in the Italian Alps. Dennis Boutsikaris presents the journalistic account in the way it was written--as a James Bond thriller. His rapid-fire delivery of military operations alternates with a languid presentation of the portions of the story relating to "the Countess," a Mata Hari-esque real-life distraction to mission leader Stephen Hall. The story is so gripping and the delivery so compelling that only lines such as "recalling the event some 60 years later . . ." serve to remind the listener that the story actually happened. R.L.L.

FALL FROM GRACE--APRIL 2012 EARPHONE AWARD WINNER!!
Richard North Patterson
Read by Dennis Boutsikaris
Patterson has outdone himself with his latest edge-of-your-seat audiobook. Ben Blaine, the demanding, downright cruel patriarch of a Martha's Vineyard family, is found dead at the edge of a cliff on his property. Police have no shortage of suspects since so many wanted him dead. But it is his prodigal son, Adam, who must figure out why his father cut his mother out of his will in his final months and, in doing so, determine who caused the man's death. It's hard to go wrong when Dennis Boutsikaris performs an audiobook, and this one is no exception. Boutsikaris’s measured tones will transport listeners into a new world so perfectly they’ll smell the salty sea air. M.S.

THE LITIGATORS
John Grisham
Read by Dennis Boutsikaris
John Grisham has the legal thriller down pat, and his audiobooks are often enhanced by the performance of narrator Dennis Boutsikaris. As he has done in other Grisham novels, Boutsikaris lends a touch of whimsy to the process that lets the listener know that everything is going to work out. He makes a good book even better.

STARRED REVIEW FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY for THE LEFTOVERS
The Leftovers Tom Perrotta, read by Dennis Boutsikaris. Macmillan Audio
Having recorded works by everyone from Don DeLillo to Richard North Patterson, Dennis Boutsikaris is the ideal audio jack-of-all-trades for Perrotta’s darkly comic novel of American life after the Rapture. Boutsikaris captures the tender longing of Perrotta’s prose as it harks back to a lost happiness now entirely destroyed by the unexplained disappearance of millions of people, both believers and nonbelievers. Utilizing the mellow timbre of his voice and effective moments of silence, Boutsikaris highlights the disconnection and dissatisfaction at the heart of Perrotta’s novel. Proving to be a superb narrator for Perrotta’s work, Boutsikaris’s quiet excellence is akin to that of the author. A St. Martin’s Press hardcover. (Aug.) Reviewed on: 09/26/2011
