Audio Book Note: The audio book was created with Amazon's new Virtual Voice. This feature is in a testing phase, hoping to make audios more accessible, but it's not a sophisticated AI. Give it a try.

My first virtual voice listen!

This book is about space travel, which I love to read about. The story was pretty good, but mostly focused on the crew and how they got along, or didn't. Still, it was interesting and was told mostly from the point of view of the ships gardener, Harry. There were lots of robotics in and outside the space ship, loved that. I think I would have enjoyed it more with a human narrator because the AI voice just didn't have the personality needed. The virtual voice was pleasant and easy to hear and understand. It just couldn't give the different characters their own unique voice. It was a little flat in delivery. But, I think virtual voice could be good with more work. I know it is in the developing stages, so I am willing to give the voice AI another go at some point.
