For those who have read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by (my) Soror Zora Neale Hurston, it often takes a chapter or so to get into the swing of the dialouge because of the writting style. But it's a highly recommended book for those who haven't yet read it.
I am going to take your advice and read this book!
