Author's Writing Style:

The author does not tell the story in chronological order. The reason for this could be suspense or an attempt to interest the reader in the events that are occurring. Like the main character Alex, the novel is very spontaneous. The novel bounces from on place to another, town to town. Alex is constantly on the move, hitch-hiking from different cities. The author will let an important event occur and move on to another plot or scene. But, the author explains any questions the reader might have later on in the novel. The author also uses the stories or adventures of others, including himself, to help the reader understand the emotions and thoughts of Alex, the main character. The use of these outside stories are quite beneficial especially the personal connections the author has. The personal connections of the author help to validate the conclusions the author draws.
