For me, I was able to adjust pretty quickly and I actually think the narration added a lot of depth to the novel! It reminded me of how Huck Finn and another YA dystopian, The Knife of Never Letting Go, are written. <br /><br />Great review!<br /><br />- Alyssa of Redhead Heroines<br /><br /><a href="http://redheadheroines.blogspot.com/2011/10/book-review-of-blood-red-road-by-moira.html" rel="nofollow">Book Review of “Blood Red Road” by Moira Young</a>Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506707601418740461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689413217576282494.post-47081033435554439802011-10-15T11:17:18.624-06:002011-10-15T11:17:18.624-06:00I love this book so much, it's one of my favor...I love this book so much, it's one of my favorites! At first, I hated the dialect style, but then after a while I started to love it and I couldn't imagine this book any other way! You're so lucky you got Moria Young to sign your copy, that's be so cool! <br />No! I hope they don't make it a movie. that'll ruin it.Paige Woinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204238243107594354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689413217576282494.post-78163859092993307312011-10-15T10:50:25.398-06:002011-10-15T10:50:25.398-06:00I completely agree--this book was well-written and...I completely agree--this book was well-written and had lots of wonderful action, but I just couldn't get past the dialect. It's a good way to show that a character is uneducated, but I feel like there are better, more effective ways that don't impede the telling of the story so much.<br /><br />This was a great review!Francesca Zappiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876692064254806825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689413217576282494.post-82735547819033333462011-10-15T10:42:37.001-06:002011-10-15T10:42:37.001-06:00I've heard a few more times than I care to rec...I've heard a few more times than I care to recount how dialect can cause a reader difficulty, that delivering the line and providing a brief, but descriptive tag can accomplish more. It seems that was the case for your read of this book.<br /><br />I'm a fantasy reader. Dialect can happen a lot so it may be a bit of an easier read for someone with the set expectation.<br /><br />Congrats on the author getting such a big name like Ridley Scott's production company interested in it. Very nice :-)<br /><br />Thanks to you for sharing your review. I enjoyed it for it's balance and candor.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.com
