***** "Brown, Patterson, Clancy, and now Smith!" Amazon Reviewer

the story line is interesting

The computer generated narration was horrible. mispronounced words and absolutely no inflection or emotion. would love to hear it read by a live person!!

Good story, AWFUL narrator

I really disliked the “AI” narrator. It mispronunciation words that it previously pronounced correctly. There was no emotion in the reading. The overall story was good which luckily kept me on the hook but it took me a long time to get through this book due to the terrible narration.

It was all right

I think the concept was there. I think it was poorly written.
And the AI voice does not help at all.

Bad narration

I don't like the computer generated voice.It can't identified the correct tense of word in the context of the story.

AI narrator needs help

The AI narrator makes basic mistakes with words like rush and line. There is no long breaks between paragraphs, which in the book marks a story transition, especially with a story that goes back and forth in time. The monotone makes a thrilling story fall flat. This makes the story harder to follow.
