The narrator’s phrasing was way off a LOT of times. For instance; trick…. OR treat: The few times she said that drove me nuts; always the same way. As if no one ever uses those words together..
For me the worst part, hands down, was the pronunciation of the author’s name, Nicole: Occasionally it was pronounced (properly) Nicole; but most of the time it was pronounced Nickle…. Nickle! 😖
I don’t know if it’s spelled differently at times in the book, like maybe it was a nickname or something; but the back and forth with Nicole and Nickle was so arbitrary it was really annoying. REALLY annoying…
There also seems to be a problem with AI and contractions; ‘Do not’ being the most noticeable. I guess AI can’t handle pronouncing words like don’t, won’t, can’t, ect. Everything was ‘do not’, ‘will not’, ‘cannot’, again; to a noticeable and annoying degree.
Then there’s the writing of the book itself. No offense to Ms. Carpenter, but a lot of the ‘he said’ and ‘she said’s were redundant. Almost robotic in a way: Mom said “Go outside, Nicole.” “Yes mommy, I’ll go outside.” NORMAL people: “Go outside, Nicole,” “Okay.”
And what happened to the ending? It was like the author got tired of writing and decided to say, “OK, I’m done: The End.” I definitely wanted to know if anything was REALLY learned by any of the characters I had been listening to about for the last 4 hours..
My heart goes out to the author and what she endured growing up homeless for a time as a child of drug addicted parents, but she probably could have used a better editor to do her life story justice. 🤔 Most DEFINITELY a human-voiced narrator! 👍🏼
The AI narration.. It was pretty bad.
