Recent book reviews:
“I am still swimming in the energy of this powerfully written book. It is poignant, heart wrenching and masterful in its imagery. As I read the final few chapters I couldn’t help but feel the relevance of your book today with the Russia/Ukraine conflict.”

“This is a story that holds your attention as it explores the lives of 2 young people and their families during WW2 . It especially captures their experiences in Britain and Holland. A factually enlightening and heart-warming tale of courage and strength told in a way that keeps you totally involved with the characters. An uplifting read for the times we live in to remind us of the fortitude required to survive and rebuild lives as they managed to do.”

Terrible AI delivery ruins the story

If you are looking to debate the benefits of AI this is not going to win you any arguments. Disjointed speech patterns, lack of inflection, and a myriad of mispronunciations leave the listener begging for a human connection. Unfortunately, I did not realize that Audible had resorted to using AI delivery until the purchase was completed. I will be paying much closer attention to the narrator from now on.
The story itself is quite captivating and I hope to be able to find the book at my local library so I can enjoy it in the way the author intended.

Ai is terrible

This was my first experience with an Ai narrator. The emphasis on words in each phrase was quite awful. As we know, expression and emphasis is critical when reading aloud. If Audible stopped using real narrators I would have to discontinue my account. I could never recommend a book that was delivered by a virtual voice to anyone after this experience. The story was very difficult to finish. No fault to the author, but hopefully someone else will soon narrate this book and do justice to the story.

reading by AI was horrid, made me want to stop listening to

I will not order another book that is AI narrated, Ruined all pleasure in the book.
Same reflection in sentence after sentence. No live narrator would sound like this. Just horrible.
