Poor performance

The story is fine. The ai generated narration was abysmal. The voice was inconsistent with previous Keller stories. He regularly emphasized the wrong syllable in words and did not change the emphasis of words in sentences. Doesn't anyone check these things? You're Audible and I expect much better.

what a shame

Block's book are great but I could not listen to the fake voice.
Please stop with this virtual cup. Cheap for audible but cheap is not what matters.
I would rather pay more than have the audiobook world destroyed for your profit margin.
I would rather listen to a poor narrator than a fake one.

A more sophisticated vocal transcription would help!

The story—as usual—was addicting! And the writing . Serviceable — but there are better transcription capabilities available.

Terrible AI narrator

The story was a good Block / Keller story. Enjoyable, succinct and great dialogue. But the narration was terrible. I almost turned it off after the first sentence.

Technology at its WORST

AI cannot narrate a story. No emotion. No difference in voices. This was absolutely god awful and I will never again listen to a AI piece of crap.
