A good book with a lot of valuable information, but I can’t figure out why authors have these terrible narrators that are either robots or AI reading the text. It’s beyond terrible and embarrassing, ruining the entire book. If a human being can’t read it with passion and with decent, real intonation, please just don’t bother. It’s painful to listen to. Find a good human voice, think about what you’re putting out there.

Good information, robot AI VO is horrendous
