hated the computer voice over!

storyline was great! I think that it had a rather good twist compared to most stories.

Enjoyed the story

Characters came alive. Took me a while to figure out, but it was thrilling when I did.

AI reading is horrible

I’ll have to say the story might’ve been 100 times better if AI hadn’t been reading it. It mispronounces words and the inflection is horrible. Had a hard time getting to the end of the book. Hope her next book is performed by a live person.

Good story. Poorly read

Good story. The virtual voice is distracting from the story. Odd pronunciation of some words and inflection.

Hate virtual voice!

The story was probably much better than rated but virtual voice misses SO much of the story by not adding fluctuation appropriately, ignoring punctuation etc…. It’s so much better to have an actual reader!

Virtual voice ruins the story

I feel the STORY was good. It was very hard to understand many parts due to the way virtual voice read very flat and ran together. I would have rather read it myself.

not to fond of virtual voice

Hard start to get into the story I am not fond of virtual voice, sounded kind of childish. Had to listen to the end, glad there was a happy ending

loved the story not the narration

the virtual voice was not consistent with pronunciations and did not emote well with the voice. it made the story relatively flat. the story was amazing though.

Disappointing storyline

Very disjointed story line.
Virtual voice is very flat and words pronounced wrong. It’s like listening to a teacher giving a boring lecture

Narrator kind of ruins it

The story was okay, but there are dozens, maybe hundreds of instances in which the narrator misinterprets the way a line should be delivered. It’s not just bad pronunciation—there are some of those two—but more like lines that are supposed to be sarcastic that are pronounced with sincerity, or using the word god as profanity when it’s supposed to be prayer. It’s just jarring to have to keep mentally correcting what’s being said.
That happens with a human narrator sometimes too, but not nearly as badly as this.This technology is amazing, but it’s just not there yet.
