Volume III of GUYS READ once again melds great storytellers with fine narrators in an audio production aimed especially at young male listeners. Narrators Robertson Dean, Christian Rummel, Mike Rylander, and JD Jackson balance humor, tension, sarcasm, and crisp sports reportage in these 10 stories. Also included are inspiring memoirs by hockey player Dustin Brown and basketball player-turned-sports commentator James Brown. These are not typical stories of young jocks and geek triumphs. Accounts of martial arts training, bullying, stolen trophies, witch doctors, screwups, and heroics are finely balanced by narrators who capture the humor and tragedy of boys seriously at play.
