1. How would you describe the style, or the voice, in which Charles Frazier tells his story? Do you find it realistic or stylized? What does it add to the overall effect of the story?

This is only a short answer space. I can make a brief comment. The novel is written in neutral mood. However, there are some moments which the author describes vividly and emotionally. Thus he highlights them among others, making the reader pay attention to them, making them more important. I find the narrative stylized which translates to mood and tone.
