The AI Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole – Audiobook Review

01/16/2020

The A.I. Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole

Narrated by Regina Hall, Mindy Kaling and a full cast of 8 Narrators

SciFi Futuristic Romance

I loved the cover of this audio-first (or only) release with star narrators, and thought The A.I. Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole looked unique and fun. I listened to another book recently that included a humanoid robot and it didn’t quite work for me, so I thought I’d try this in the hopes that it makes up for the last one.

Taking place in a dystopian-type future, Trinity Jordan works from home as a virtual driver for The Hive, which seems to be like a Big Brother governmental entity. She is also working from home because she is recovering from some type of accident that reveals itself later in the story.

Trinity is trying to get better, but her neighbor’s sexy-but-strange nephew just moved in and is distracting her. Li Wei (pronounced Lee-way, which is what I thought it was the whole book until I read the blurb for this review) is a biosynthetic humanoid (a human-looking robot), and we, as readers, know it, but it takes a while for Trinity to realize. But when her neighbor ends up in the hospital, Trinity steps in to help Li Wei learn to be human.

I loved how Li Wei grew and changed. If you have ever seen Data in Star Trek TNG you will relate. His computer-like responses in a human body seemed funny and that was my favorite part.

“You shouldn’t touch a baby’s face.”
“He touched my face first,” he explains. “It is impolite not to return a greeting in the language of the speaker.”
I suppress my laughter and take another tack.”You might spread germs to him.”
“I do not carry any germs. I scrubbed my body with disinfectant 22 minutes ago making it an inhospitable environment for bacteria.”

At first I had some difficulties following the story because we weren’t given all the information, but once I got into it, I started enjoying the ride. It was interesting being in this futuristic world. When the book turned into a scifi adventurous spy story I started to lose my way a little again and ended a little bit confused.

The Narration:

With some big-name narrators including Regina Hall and Mindy Kaling, I was expecting The A.I. Who Loved Me to have some amazing narration and production, which is why I listened. I did love the integration of sound effects, and I liked how Regina added a POC to a SciFi novel (not common at all), but I found her narration to be a bit dry and often felt like she was reading and not acting (though it did improve as I listened). Also this was a strange combination of dual and duet narration, making the same character (notably Penny) be acted by different actors in certain parts which had me a little confused.

Likes:

  • A very cool concept with great world-building.
  • I love the cover.
  • A racially diverse cast of characters and narrators.
  • There were some serious social issues woven into the story that basically illustrates how the mistakes we make now will affect the Earth in the future.
  • A full cast recording.
  • I loved how Li Wei developed and grew and became more human-like throughout the story.
  • There were some really fun moments.

Dislikes:

  • I felt a little lost a few times when listening.
  • Though I loved the full cast recording, I had a few issues with the narration (see above).
  • I never really felt the connection both between the characters and as a reader.

The Down & Dirty:

The AI Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole was unique, diverse, entertaining and subtly addressed some important social issues. I enjoyed the listen. Did I love it? No. But I never once wished it was over. I found I had difficulties following some of the story and had some issues with the narration that confused me more than a few times. But I am glad I listened, and I am considering listening to more in the series as they release.

Rating 3 Stars, 3.5 Heat, 4 Narration

Purchase The A.I. Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole

5 star read! (My 2nd this year) I don’t read a l 5 star read! (My 2nd this year)
I don’t read a lot of fantasy. I’m not really a Harry Potter fan and ACOTAR didn’t live up to the hype. But the hardcover of The Fourth Wing is so pretty! I wanted it, but I will not buy a book for my shelf that I haven’t read, and I just had a feeling The Fourth Wing by @rebeccayarros would be amazing. I almost DNFd when I realized it was about dragon riders, but gave it a chance and FELL IN LOVE. The 20+ hours went by in a flash and I couldn’t stop listening! Check out my detailed, spoiler-free review.

If you haven’t read @catherinecowlesauthor yet, If you haven’t read @catherinecowlesauthor yet, YOU NEED TO. Echoes of You is just another example of an amazing novel filled with love, mystery, suspense, family and romance. I loved the connection that the couple had and the mystery kept me on my toes.

The only reason I am not giving The Long Way Home The only reason I am not giving The Long Way Home by @harper_sloan a full 5 stars is because I didn’t re-read the Corps Security Series first. Had I done that, I would have been a blubbering, crying fool instead of just tearing up. Like Harper has said, The Long Way Home is the ending to the Corps Security Series that you didn’t know you needed, and it was SO WORTH THE WAIT. Now that Harper is back writing, I hope she begins a new series that won’t require me to remember so much., because I love her writing so much!

I love collecting foreign versions of my favorite I love collecting foreign versions of my favorite books!

I have gotten SO MANY messages thanking me for recommending my FAVORITE BOOK/AUDIOBOOK of 2022! Mary Jane by @jessicaanyablau was so amazing, especially in audio. This coming-of-age novel set in 1975 was different than what I usually read, and I so enjoyed seeing the 14-year-old sheltered heroine see what life is like nannying for a progressive family who happens to be hiding a rock star for the summer.

Mary Jane is the perfect summer read, especially if you grew up during this time, and the narration by @caitlin.kinnunen was absolutely outstanding.

I couldn’t recommend it more.

Thank you Jessica for this version of the book! I love it!

I couldn’t stop listening to The Perfect Marriag I couldn’t stop listening to The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose. The storytelling and narration kept me riveted despite all the ridiculous plot holes. I had such a hard time giving this a star rating because I really enjoyed the listen even though the story truly made no sense and could never even come close to happening in real life. Still, I will for sure be checking out more of Jeneva Rose’s books after reading this and watching her hysterical TikToks.
