Publisher's summary

The Men on the Sixth Floor has charted a new course in the research of the JFK assassination. Containing fascinating, never before seen documents, the JFK book was a major focus of Nigel Turner's History Channel Documentary - "The Men Who Killed Kennedy/The Guilty Men" in 2003. But legal action was threatened by LBJ associates, leading to the banning of further sales or broadcasting of the program. "The Men on the Sixth Floor" was the first book to introduce Malcolm Wallace to the assassination community. It was the first Jfk conspiracy book to tie Wallace to the owner of the Texas School Book Depository - D. H. Byrd, and it was the first book to release the never before seen "Estes documents" to public scrutiny. There is good reason why this JFK assassination book is considered 'required reading' by serious JFK researchers around the world.

A fascinating account made almost boring by Virtual Voice

I was alive at the time of the Kennedy assassination and thought at the time that the one with the most to gain from JFK's death was Lyndon Johnson. Obviously, others have come to the same conclusion over time, and this book introduced hitherto unknown participants in the plot, all with ties to LBJ. The story of the authors' research would have been riveting had it not been for the Virtual Voice narration. Yeah, I know Audible can make a lot more books available cheaper with VV but, like all bad human narrators, VV can make a book that's worth reading painful to listen to. This and, I suspect, many other books deserve better.

First AI generated performance

The AI was not bad for the most met the correct tone and timber the story required. Was a little jarring when at times it did not handle the spelling are know how things like rifle calibers are typically pronounced.

An example would be to pronounce a .22 caliber the AI would state “point two two” instead of the colloquial “twenty two”. It Also had difficulty with the “un” prefix, more than once pronouncing a with “U. N.” Followed by the word.

Not terrible considering AI but I will wait a few more years before listening to another AI generated audiobook.

I don’t mind paying a little extra to ensure actual voice actors are not replaced.

As something is missing

This book wasn’t bad, even the narration by virtual voice wasn’t that bad. From time to time it became a bit robotic but all over it was fine.

I don’t know but it seems as something is missing to this audible as stuff is mentioned, where you should be able to look at a fingerprint however there is no pictures included in this audible - that was quite annoying.

Overall the book is ok but comes across as quite dry, and a bit confusing. However the theory of the killing of JFK is very interesting.
