TANGO ONE by Stephen Leather from AudioFile © Read by STEPHEN GREIF

This gripping story begins when three new London Metropolitan Police recruits, Jamie, Bunny and Tina, are asked to go undercover to catch a drug dealer known as "Tango One". Stephen Greif's evenhanded narration uses a cadre of accents, vocal shifts, and modulations to capture Leather's strong characterizations. The distinctive voices and nuances Greif finds for the assortment of characters make the plentiful dialogue easy to follow. This intelligent performance is a listening pleasure. S.C.A.

BAD DOG AND ALL THAT HOLLYWOOD HOO-HAA by Martin Chatterton from AudioFile ©
Read by STEPHEN GREIF

Bad Dog lives up to his name as he takes on Tinseltown and its usual denizens. When he's prophetically saved from the City Pound's death row, Bad Dog is slated to star in the next blockbuster, along with superhero Anvil Studminder. There are lots of action, puns, and plays on movie star names and movie titles. All of these goodies are given excellent delivery by Stephen Greif. Along the way listeners will meet Nick Jackelson and observe the making of the famous film, "Cake Fear." Greif adds to the fun as he gives each character, whether human, canine, or feline, a distinctive personality. In many ways, this title is aimed far more at adults than children in its subject matter and language and should be cautiously recommended.

WINNER of AudioFile Earphones Award

In her children's stories, Sally Gardner tackles serious issues (like parents separating) with a compassionate precision that's lightly delivered.

Stephen Greif does an equally masterful job highlighting the story's humor while still allowing its sadness to come across, and he's terrific at creating the story's variety of characters.

Switching between British, Italian, and New York accents, Greif brings to life a wealth of characters, from the delightful Italian grandmother, Mighty Mama, to Billy's Dad's girlfriend, Trixie, and even her yappy dog, Miss Precious.

The many humorous characterizations he creates make this production funny, enjoyable, and simple to follow, despite the frequent dialogue between numerous characters.
This is a story that will be enjoyed by the entire family. J.C.G.
