A review by heathicusmaximus
The Winter Road by Adrian Selby
Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
The non-dialogue prose uses words that while phonetically understandable are hard to interpret while reading (think a southern dialect from Mississippi) and it frequently interrupts the story flow. Much of it is written from the perspective of one of the characters, like inner thoughts, and people think as they speak usually. As an audiobook it would be okay.
Also, I couldn't tell if characters were men or women most of the time, so it was hard to visualize them. I mainly gave up on it due to the language used. I read 70 pages of this middle-school level book in the time it took to get to 150 in any other high-school level fiction book. YMMV.
