Story is good and a little different

I enjoyed this story quite a lot. I like realistic stories that make the heart happy when I'm in the mood. I think this is a good story and should be listened to. It also sounds good in this virtual voice. It's a good listen all the way around except for . . .

I'd like to suggest that the author edit the virtual voice recording for pronunciation, list punctuation (sped up a little from the dry professor comma delineated lists to something more conversational), and a few grammatical errors.

The hardest thing for me is listening to virtual voice handle dashes, that little trick we all fell into to avoid the is it three dots or four dots problem or if we've written a lot of nonfiction which promotes the use of dashes in sentences for emphasis (when the text is read visually). For recorded fiction, any dash with a space before or after any dash is read by virtual voice as the word "dash." It's that space that kills it--for now. This is true whether the dashes fall at the end, beginning or middle of sentences. This happens quite often in the beginning chapters of this book. I took a chance after one cringey passage and listened on and it doesn't happen much later on in the book.

In one sentence, I'm not sure exactly how it's supposed to read, but it sounds like a character stuttered for being attracted to someone or was embarrassed by meeting someone, just not sure what that sentence was about, but it's a bunch of "I dash, "I dash," etc.--a long comma list I think--I couldn't really tell what words were spoken. Dashes in virtual voice for fiction just mess up the listener's understanding of the sentences in which they appear (this changes with each iteration of virtual voice so I've been trying to just get rid of all of my dashes, or minimally the spaces before and/or after).

As far as I can guess, the reading of dashes as words are maintained in virtual voice for science or math papers/books or textbooks or lectures (e.g., The Great Courses). And in that case, it's hard to argue against them being read out loud as dashes.

Good story, virtual narration needs some work

I liked the story, a quick listen with minimal drama and angst. The virtual voice wasn't too bad, but there is definitely some AI learning to be done there. The virtual voice kept saying "dash", which I can only assume was an actual dash in the text. That was a bit annoying. There were a few other "funnies" that need some work, but the "dash" was the most pervasive.
