How language stlyes affect a story

My mom let me use her kindle while I was on a four hour drive. I have always believed that the language stlye used in stories, helps set the story and era. Anyways, I was listening to the kindle read me the story. It was one tone and could not say the dialect the way it should have benn said. I could not even get into the story. Reading it the right way makes feel pictures the scences in my head. Dialect  is one of the most important facts in stories of this era.
