i'd be glad if someone tells me which is overall better...
Both are very different.
You didn't say, what you are looking for in these books, which could be important. I have both, but so far only read the Dodge/Jerse completely, the Roads only about 300 pages. The Roads is more like a reference book. It also contains a lot of references like: "To find out more about speech synthesis read [1], [2] and [3]." Not that helpful for beginners, IMO. The Dogde/Jerse however is a wonderful introduction to a lot of synthesis techniques, with enough easily understandable explanations to make you want to go patching right away. So read the Dodge first, if that is what you look for, buy the Roads if you want to have a general compendium which is a bit short on deeper explanations unfortunatly.
My 2C.
