\"\"*STARRED REVIEW<\/strong>
\nAt just three-and-a-half hours, Daniel Magariel’s debut novel should be a quick listen \u2013 time-wise, that’s obviously true \u2013 but be warned: this affecting, hypnotic tragedy will linger and haunt long after.\u00a0Narrator Gibson Frazier \u2013 pitch-perfect in his characterization of the two abused brothers \u2013 is especially chilling as the father who can go from buoyant to snarling without warning.<\/p>\n

In the tumultuous wake of acrimonious family disintegration, the father takes his two sons \u2013 the younger just 12, who’s been coerced into being “one of the boys” by rejecting his mother\u00a0\u2013 from their Kansas home and relocates to New Mexico: “We’ll all be kids again,” the father promises. The brothers adapt, both proving especially talented on the basketball court. Their father, however, spirals out of control: his cigars are replaced by more debilitating substances, his hands (and almost anything they touch) become weapons, his mind and heart increasingly incapacitated. Trapped and desperate, the brothers know they won’t survive \u2013 but escape is a formidably daunting risk. Precise, riveting, incandescent, Boys<\/em> belongs on multiple shelves, in multiple formats.<\/p>\n
