Tiger: The Real Story

Steve Helling, read by Kevin Kenerly, Blackstone, unabridged, six CDs, 7 hrs., $32.95 ISBN 978-1-4417-5240-6

Helling's biography offers insight mainly into Tiger's early years as a rising star with an impeccable reputation and stretches itself a bit as it tries to comment on the recent scandals plaguing the golfer. Kevin Kenerly's narration is standard fare; he reads in a deep and steady journalistic bass tone that is flexible enough to make certain insights sound secretive—to little effect. Helling brings mostly thin leads and hearsay to his account of what makes Tiger tick. A Da Capo hardcover (Reviews, July 5). (May)
