Publisher's summary

“There are people who enjoy watching kids being killed—and eaten—by dinosaurs.” Kayce shrugged matter-of-factly. “We try to deny them that pleasure.”

It’s called Dinosaur Run, and it’s the most vicious, most twisted sport ever conceived. Attractive, athletic teenagers are snatched off the streets and transported 150 million years back in time—to the age of dinosaurs—allowing wealthy spectators to gamble on who’ll be the first to go, who’ll last longest, and who’ll be … eaten … by what.

But this time they’ve picked the wrong group of kids to mess with.

Don’t move a muscle … and never ever let ‘em hear you breathe! Read Dinosaur Run today!

This title uses virtual voice narration

Great story, not so great AI

Yes, I was aware of the AI narration, however it truly made it difficult to understand what the author intended to convey. Example: when the main characters in the book were meant to convey fear with “W-what?”, the narration pronounced the “w” as if it were reading the alphabet. It took away from the enjoyment of the story.

However, the story itself was appealing and I look forward to finding more from this author.

Good story, BAD AI Narration

The story itself is pretty good, but the constant mispronunciation made it impossible to get through the story. The narration of the Torvosaurus encounter in chapter 10 was so choppy it made it incredibly difficult to actually understand what was going on in the scene.
The book itself is well written and gripping, with likable characters and a cool plot. However, the robotic narration mispronouncing everything really lessens the experience and makes it hard to get through the book

Great Story, Disappointing AI

I really enjoyed this novel. It kept me in tune the entire time. I was always wondering about the next chapter. The AI however made this at times very hard to manage. The way the AI reads noises and screams is nothing like it should and it takes a second to understand. This would have been an easy 4.5 with human narration.

Narration takes away from story

Good story and plot, thoroughly enjoyable characters, highly distracting narration. The computer generated narration has multiple errors in tone, pacing, and especially pronunciation that take away from the story. Did no one listen to this before it was distributed?

Excellent story!

Excellent storyline, but the virtue voice narration wasn't good. I'd love to hear this with an actual voice actor.

Dinosaur Run

The story has an interesting premise & I enjoyed the tale. I am not a fan of the AI voice narration and with many areas in this story calling for stammering or yelling the AI took away from the story.

Terrible Narrator

Great story…..totally ruined by the horrible narration.. What a terrible idea! I won’t bother with the following books if this is what has been done. Why don’t you find someone decent to record these stories? I would give the Performance 0 stars if I could.
