William Dufris
A mock-up of the OJ bar is built in a downtown New York City warehouse. As the gang plans their next move with the cameras rolling, Dortmunder and Kelp sneak onto the roof of their new studio to organize a private enterprise. It will take an ingenious plan to outwit viewers glued to their television sets, but Dortmunder is nothing if not persistent, and he's determined to end this shoot with money in his pockets.

Where does Get Real rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It took a little while to get into the story and 'suspend disbelief', but proved an enjoyable listen in the end.Breezy farce

Dortmunder is immortal!

The story is already clever and hilarious, and Dufris' narration ensures it remains as such. The characters are all so clearly defined by a vocal maestro.
I was sorry it ended far too soon.
A great reader makes a great story even better!

My only beef with this version was the narrator. I listened to all of the Dortmunder books back in the Books on Tape days and that narrator NAILED the characters. This narrator, not so much and he especially falls short compared to the BOT narrator that I grew to enjoy so much.
Aside from the acting, the premise of this book is still well worth the credit.
Classic Dortmunder

What did you love best about Get Real?
The whole reality show following a group of robbers. Oh well, I guess people will watch anything.Who was your favorite character and why?
Tiny, the most humor that comes out is in his character. There isn't much more in any of the other characters.What aspect of William Dufris’s performance would you have changed?
Not my favorite for the Dortmunder series, I did like Jeff Woodman so much better. The books were funny back then.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, I wish I did. Although the outcome seemed a little bit better.Much Better

Any additional comments?
What a delightful find. I saw the advertisement on the Audible front page and although I wasn't familiar with Mr. Westgate's Dortmunder series, I was intrigued by the premise and reassured by the good ratings.A reality show producer looking for his next big hit after "The Stand" (a reality TV show he produces chronicling the life and drama of running a roadside farm stand) hits upon an idea to recruit a team of actual thieves (the Dortmunder gang) and film them planning and then executing a real burglary.
The money is good, the risk to the gang manageable, and Dortmunder has ideas of his own to sweeten the take for the gang. John Dortmunder is one of the cleverest (and unlucky) criminals you are likely to meet, so the reality TV show promises to be very interesting indeed.
This was such a fun listen and I was sad when it ended. Even more so since Mr. Westlake passed away in 2008 and the Dortmunder gang is most likely in retirement. However, there still are 13 other Dortmunder books for me to enjoy.
A fun romp
