I really can't say I enjoyed this book. I read Ian Bank's "The Wasp Factory" and loved it, so I thought I'd check out "The Crow Road." The book seemed VERY long and drawn out... there didn't seem to be much plot at all... I kept wondering when he'd get to the point. I kept thinking it would get better in the next chapter, or the next, and it just never picked up. I also had trouble following some of the slang, but I noticed that the used copy I picked up was apparently a European copy, so that may (or may not) have had something to do with this. I let my mother borrow it (she generally blows through a novel in a day or two) and she couldn't even finish it. I'm not sure how I made it to the end, myself. It was just... dull, and lifeless. I was very disappointed. If you really want to read this book, pick it up at a library, or at a used book store for $1. It isn't worth as much as the shipping I paid for it.
