What is the author's style in Bone by Jeff Smith?

The story is written in the third person point of view in comic book format. The point of view is omniscient and will switch between many of the different characters, including the Bone cousins, the rat creatures, Briar and many others. This allows the reader a knowledge of many of the plans that are going on and what role other characters are going to play. Despite the omniscient point of view, there will be many things that are mentioned that will not be explained at that point in the story. An example of this is when Lucius says that he bet on the wrong sister. It won't be until much later in the story that it is explained that Lucius chose Briar over Rose when they were all much younger.

The story is in comic book format and so there will be a large focus on the dialog that the characters have. There will be emotions and inner turmoil shown through the drawing that the author uses, but the reader will have to interpret their meaning. There are many plots in the book, but the book starts and stops with the Bone cousins looking to find a way back into Boneville. The Bone characters will travel through many different places, and although Boneville is a constant reference, it will never been shown.
