The story itself was great but virtual voice detracts from the story. Easy to lose your place with the almost monotone voice and mispronounced words.

These stories besides the first have a large focus on technologies gone wild which is interesting, and a fun thing to scratch the brain considering our modern technological developments. The automated reader(sort of ironic to use for these stories lol) is somewhat of a pain and makes it harder to pay attention it is so flat, it also sometimes fumbles words.

Stephen kings short stories are always good!

The stories were average, but this was the best AI narration I’ve heard yet. Most are too halting and unnatural for me to even listen to - this was quite good.

Great AI Narration

The stories were pretty decent, but the AI voice ruined the experience. Not an AI fan.

The stories were engaging, though they didn’t quite reach the level of greatness of Stephen King's other stories. Nonetheless, they provided a substantial amount of thought-provoking content, which I appreciated. However, I found the choice of narration to be somewhat off-putting. The use of a female narrator with an English accent for a male character who is distinctly American was difficult to reconcile. While I don’t mind a female narrator voicing male characters, they typically adjust the voice to a deeper tone, aligning more closely with the character's gender and cultural background.

AI ruined it for me

It was hard to tell if I like the stories, because the virtual voice was so horrible. There were so many mistakes in pronunciation and really no way to look back and see what the heck it was they were supposed to be saying. I for sure won’t pay for anything done with virtual voice.

Virtual voice is horrible

Stephen King has always had the most intriguing writing style. Keeps your intrest from beginning to end. Very imaginative.

It is hard for me to rate this because I am a huge fan of SK. It was also hard because the narration was so terrible that I had a hard time rating the story separately than the narration. I have almost 500 audible books and this was by far the worst narration! Between the monotone, and the miss pronounced everyday words- and not being able to decipher one character from the next, I had trouble finding the story underneath. I’m sorry SK. It’s m still a fan- just not of this!

Big fan of SK- but this was not good

AI is Bad
