What is the author's style in A Hope in the Unseen: An American Odyssey from the Inner City to the Ivy League by Ron Suskind?

The structure of A Hope in the Unseen is chronological, detailing the sojourn of Cedric Jennings from an achieving high school student and dutiful, religious adolescent, through the unchartered territory of a turbulent first year at Brown University. Within his chronological context, however, Suskind is able to adeptly weave a thematic approach, focusing on distinct aspects of the struggle as the journey moves forward. The reader thus witnesses the sequential academic saga in precise semester accomplishments and failures, but, as well, receives a thematic structure that transcends the chronology. Suskind's style is journalistic.
