Keller in Dallas

a Keller short story

De: Lawrence Block

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

This novella continues the story of Keller, after the wistful stamp-collecting hit man retired in New Orleans at the end of Hit & Run. A phone call and an economic downturn is all it takes to put him back in business.Keller in Dallas, a Kindle bestseller, serves too as the opening episode of Lawrence Block's brand-new bestseller, Hit Me.

Poor performance

The story is fine. The ai generated narration was abysmal. The voice was inconsistent with previous Keller stories. He regularly emphasized the wrong syllable in words and did not change the emphasis of words in sentences. Doesn't anyone check these things? You're Audible and I expect much better.

AI narration makes the story unlistenable

Lawrence block is a tremendous author, but robot narration robs all of his characters of their depth and color, and blocks lyrical dialogue is left wooden and flat. Odd pronunciations, outright mispronunciations, and syntactical glitches make it unlistenable. If AI narration turns out to be the way Audible is going, I will cancel my membership without a second thought.

the sucky fake voice

I heard fake voice and cringed. no min should be required. it's bad. jjjjjjj

Last of emotion

History is about human emotions. A computer reading it leaves the reader disinterested and disappointed.

Take Me To Yo Leader

Obvious robot voice, not ready for prime time. Characters lose emotion, story loses subtext that comes through text or even mediocre narration.
