The Apartment

The story was good however, I would have enjoyed it much more if it was told by a human & not a generated voice. The lack of vocal emotion during the major stressful event in the book was a negative for me.

What?

I just didn't get it. What the heck happened at the end? Happy it was free.

Good

Took a bit to get into at the beginning, but otherwise well written, and unexpected twists.

Ugh!

I’m not sure why the reviews were so good for this book. I don’t like the automated computer voice, during parts of this book the character should have been screaming, but since it was a computerized voice, there was no feeling to it. As for the storyline, I didn’t care for it. I saw nothing exciting about this book.

Great plot

Not really a fan of Virtual Voice but wasn't as bad this time. Liked the story was actually too short

No to AI Voice

I totally lost interest because of the computer generated voice. I would completely zone out because of the lack of inflection of the voice.

Hard to follow

The virtual voice made the story unemotional and hard to follow. The story does not have a point - except people can be crazy and make stories up.

Would Not Recommend

Kept waiting for something to happen. I found it confusing and drawn out. The apartment really had nothing to do with it. The story is about mental health.

awful AI

AI made it too awful to listen to, I didn't realize it was AI Narrated when I downloaded it for free. Then after only a little bit (couple of pages) I went WTF? Only then, I realized my grave error. So moved on to something else, then a few months later, I went- "oh, what's wrong with this one? musta forgot about it" But NOPE, wasn't any better the 2nd accidentsl time. DFN EARLY cuz the narration was HORRIBLE!!

AI narration was boring

overall, the story was lacking, but my opinion may have been exaggerated by the dislike of the AI narration. There was too much useless information and conversations between characters got lost with the AI voice that never changed.
