Who's Listing as Top Ten

From the Critics

Praise for Running with Scissors:
"A flawless audio adaptation of his alternately riotous and heartbreaking memoir." --Publishers Weekly

"Burroughs''s account of his deranged adolescence is clear-eyed and often wildly funny. To hear it not only in his own words, but in his own voice in this fine production is ideal."--AudioFile

"There is a dusting of David Sedaris in Burroughs''s style, a laughing-through-your-tears candor that''s as appealing as the situations are appalling."--BookPage

Praise for Dry:
"Burroughs''s telling of the tale alternates among hilarious, pathetic, existential, and hopeful. It is an earnest and cautionary tale of calamity, brimming with often Sedaris-like darkly comic quips.Burroughs''s slight Southern accent and gentle yet glib delivery should summon empathy on the listener''s part that may have been lost with another reader." --Publishers Weekly

"[Burroughs''s] performance blends self-deprecating black humor with wise-cracking confidence. His natural (or hard-learned) wit and charm keep the listener rooting for his success." --AudioFile

"There''s an emotional truth that comes through here, along with a vivid prose style and a nice talent for reading in the voices of various participants in the tale. All together, it makes for a memoir well worth listening to."--The Providence Journal

"Burroughs is a born monologist. As effective as the printed books are, the audiobook editions--which Burroughs himself presents--offer an even more sublime personal mixture of humor and revelation." --Audiobookstoday.com

Praise for Magical Thinking:
"Burroughs excels in his personifications of others, whether portraying a domineering cleaning woman or an overbearing boss. While some may secretly wish for the death of such a boss, though, Burroughs admits openly and proudly that he believes he can will it to happen. That attitude, which is accentuated by his reading, makes this audiobook a true guilty pleasure." --Publishers Weekly
