Maybe it was ok?….

So…why virtual? Is it because of cost of narrators? I think the stories were ok, but I never realized how much you rely on tone, pitch, etc to bring an audio book to life until you listen to a virtual one. I got thru 2 of the stories but had to give it up. The only good thing was that the book was “free.”

AI Narration is Horrible

I couldn't concentrate on what was happening in each story, nor could I tell when it switched from one story to another. The AI narration is horrible, having no intonations, inflection or change of any sort when different characters were speaking.
