Say no to AI readers!!

I refuse to listen to another book read by AI! There is absolutely no emotion whatsoever! Just a monotonic voice. Please!!!! No more AI!! The story line was great. But, too hard to listen to.

Not a fan of AI voice

Emotionless and monotone. Many times, it makes the story boring, and hard to follow, and even just lose interest. I’m not appreciating the AIVoices. You’d think that being “intelligent” , it could distinguish and use some other voices for different characters. Spend a bit of money, and use someone like Kevin Pierce as your narrator. It would sell more books for you, and earn a lot more 5 star reviews!

Just OK

The AI was surprisingly not bad. The main character, Wren, should have died many, many times considering all the risks she took. She really wasn’t a likable character. The plot wasn’t bad. If you’re new to apocalyptic books, you might like this. All of you experienced to the genre, you might want to pass.

Kept my interest

I disliked the vulgarity. The storyline would have been so much better without the indecent dialogue in some areas - along with the language. I wanted to really like it - so much potential. The AI voice was pleasant enough just lacking in some of the areas where infection would have made the meaning a bit different. I’m not sure I would recommend this.

Never again will I do one with artificial narrator!!

The story is decent I think but the narration is so awful! I keep having to “rewind” because I am not able to invest in this monotone. No feeling, no inflections, words mispronounced. I can get through some questionable narrations for a good book but this may be too much.

AI voice ok, but needs work.

Overall a good story. Very detailed descriptions of injuries received... so much so that it was tough to believe the main character (Wren) could have possibly endured it all. The AI narration needs work. There were several mistakes that a human wouldn't have made. Also the AI narration lacked proper voice. inflection. Still good story, well written.

Missing 2nd boxes

Could not access Hayden’s set of books. Spent an hour with customer service, still can’t access them.

Computer narration is OK, but a real person does much better!

Liked the main character’s focus on being a mama bear. The action is a bit over the top, unbelievable that she would survive.

Wish I could give a review of the second box set that was supposed to be included in this “super” box set.
