Worst Purchase Ever

Surprisingly, the worst aspect of this book had nothing to do with the virtual narrator. Sure, the narrator could not discern homonyms or tell the difference between content and content and other words like that, but the narration wasn’t so bad. What was absolutely horrible was the fact that 90% of the book included a summary of a chapter as if the narrator were reading an annotated table of contents. The reader learned nothing from any of those chapters because it provided no real content. And the one section that actually had any content ended up as a summary of what the author could have done to help the reader to understand certain aspects of the TED talk. It was as if this was based on notes from the author and not the actual manuscript that the author produced.

This was the biggest waste of time and money I have ever spent on a book. It is actually comical. Thank goodness I didn’t use actual money to buy this, even though my Audible credits were wasted and its acquisition.

One thing I did learn, however, is not to ever allow my clients to use AI to produce a book without doing a thorough review afterwards. LoL!
