When some of the characters speak, like Bill and Mr Penhallow, They talk in sort of an “Old English” accent. I found it really confusing to read and half of it didn’t make sense! I had to read those bits over and over again about 5 times until I got it!

I definitely agree with you on that one. Like the “ee”. It is really confusing.

This book needs something to distinguish the difference between the town folk and tourists, even though it is a tiny bit confusing to figure out what they are saying but it is good.

Rather than it being and Old English accent I think it might be a Cornish accent but yes, I do agree that it is a bit confusing and has to read through a couple of times, but it provides an idea of what the local villagers accent sound like.

I agree. The accent made it terribly difficult to understand and some parts I had to skip.
