How Much is too Much? > Likes and Comments

I agree with you. After a bit it becomes distracting and overwhelming to the point of making it exhausting to read. A bit is like a sprinkle of salt - enhances the character and gives some context, but too much is also like too much salt.

I also enjoy when an author chooses not to put the dialog in phonetically all the time but instead says that Tom said “I’d really like a beer” and it sounded like ‘Oi'd rally loike a bare!’ when first introduced to Tom but then stops there with the phonetics since we’ve now got the right sound in our brains for Tom. Can’t wait to see what adventures await in Norfolk!

Thanks for the feedback! Your suggestion would also make an audio book easier to listen to!
