Endless

Way too long and drawn out. Kind of sappy. Nothing out of the ordinary. But it was free.

Good Story - Don't like AI Reader

First book from this author and I enjoyed the story and characters. The pace was good and kept me listening. The only complaint is the clunky AI reader. The voice was emotionless during conflicts and life or death situations. A shout or yell was deadpan and it would take a moment to understand the emotion of the character.

Would listen to more books by this author.

Not really interested in listening to another AI reader drone through the story.

Great story with twists and turns

The virtual story teller. It would have been better with a live person narrating the story for better voice inflection

AI performance horrible

First of all, the AI performance was really bad, you can't tell the difference between who is talking, hard to follow. And the story is just insane. Nothing makes scence

Great story. Can't do the Virtual Voice.

Thought I'd try the Virtual Voice and it will have to be my last. I liked the story and characters, but was distracted by the narration.

Not a great storyline.

It was borrowing right from the start. I tried to give it a fair go but it didn’t get any better. I struggled with the generated voice as well.

Awful

The story seemed like it had potential but I had to stop listening to it because the AI voice was so bad. It was so monotone and hard to follow at times. I don’t recommend using AI as a for narration again

save your money even though it is free

a mediocre read. the AI is one voice for multiple characters, and is interesting as being read a term paper.

The narrator

The story was good and entertaining, although the characters and connections were a little confusing. But the auto-generated voice was extremely disturbing and distracting. I’ll be hard pressed to choose another book with that feature.
