Very difficult listen

Listening to the virtual voice is difficult. I could not get into the story because the voice was so monotonous.

good story, virtual narrator needs work

I enjoyed the story, but the virtual narration on this title is not quite ready for prime time.

I recently listened to another book that also used the virtual narration, and it sounded fine, but this one had a lot of places where it was VERY obvious that it wasn't a human reading.

The biggest issues were with acronyms, foreign words, and similar things.

I got really tired of hearing, "Hon" (i.e. the short version of "Honey") sound like it was a Chinese name. It should've been pronounced "hun" but instead sounded like the first part of "Honda."

There were also some words that came out garbled.

That said, it was still a lot better than older-gen text-to- voice, and was mostly tolerable.

I wouldn't have paid money to buy this audio book however.

AI voice still needs some work

Overall, a very good story. The virtual voice takes getting used to, a bit to monotone and emotionless.

One of the best books I’ve listened to in a while!

I really enjoyed the story and characters. It’s educational and entertaining. And a few years ahead of its time!

Right wing propaganda

Too much for me, but I did listen. Some ideas are good,, robot voice is unsteady in sound and cadence
