Great Book

I have enjoyed listening to the books by this author. I look forward to the listening to more of her books.

Good Story

The virtual voice detracts from enjoying the book. The characters are interesting and add to the story.

Virtual voice ruins a good story

Virtual voice is nowhere near as enjoyable as voice actors. Inflection being off robs certain statements of the power. No variance between characters makes important moments confusing. This actually was a decent story.

Uninspiring

Sounded like a robot was reading the story no nuance no resonance. It was not heartfelt or unique.
