Definitely "Robo Voice"

I agree with other reviews about this being a "Robot Voice". There may have been a human voice involved, but for sure some sort of automation has been used - AND THAT IS NOT WHAT WE PAY FOR!
So please, whoever is responsible for this, if we pay for it, get an actual human to read the whole text naturally.

robo-voice

really disappointed. Auto generated audio. mechanical intonation pattern rendered listening unbearable. I wish I readily knew how to ask for my credit back. I won't be making it through this version. no reflection on the actual book, I haven't read it

Very Educational, Great Narrator!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The complexity does ramp up a bit later in the book, but it's very informative!
