AI Virtual Voice is terrible don't bother listening

The stories were fine. The "virtual voice" they used is terrible. Inflections are off, it pronounced things weird, it was monotone and the no emphasis on anythis so it made it so hard to follow. Just a monotone drone. What's worst of all is it's missing the soul and voice of Liam Owen.

If this is the future of audiobooks, we might as well end our subscriptions now.

The awful narrator.

Virtual voice is awful. It pulls you out of the story and makes it hard to follow. The mispronunciation of names is painful.

rounds out the character quite a bit

the computer voice didn't get some of the pronunciation even close particularly the names

I don't like AI voiceover

As per usual, Campbell wrote a great story. That being said, all the charm of Hank and this unique world is lost due to a virtual voiceover. It's pretty good for what it is, sounds a lot more human than most, but there's no emotion. It mispronounces things here and there as well, but what most bothers me is the lack of soul in the delivery. Unfortunately, I will probably refrain from listening to any more stories in the Hank universe unless they are voiced by Liam, the original guy 

really miss the human narrator

human narrator really added a lot. I buy the hard luck Hank series for that narrator!!
