Real voices only, please!!

Idk if this is a good book, because I can’t stand to listen to the “virtual voice” narration. As soon as it began, I thought “What is wrong with this reader?? She sounds like a robot!” Well, that’s because she is. I will be more careful to not select books that use AI ever again. It’s awful.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
