Ratings and reviews

probably not a bad yarn but totally destroyed by the soulless AI narration. please Google books can you warn people when books are going to be AI narrated so that I can avoid them. I've been caught out more than once at this stage.

Don't know about the story I couldn't get that far I got the audio version and had to turn it off its awful "AI" with zero emotion in the reading Imagine your sat nav reading it to you!
