Loved the interweaving story threads over many books

So sorry to have just finished 11/11books
Never got bored tackled race class and poverty in a way that one could not ignore the reality of discrimination

Did not like the AI narration.

Disliked the AI reading. No emotion. Mechanical. I would prefer a real person reading the book.

The AI narrator makes the story unlistenable

Honestly, don’t know how the story is, I couldn’t get by the narration. Don’t waste your time.

No more computer generated voices

I disliked the computer generated voices.

It didn’t bring the characters to life, oh yeah it isn’t human.
