Comment on language and style

The author uses simple English in this novel. It is written for an adult audience, therefore the language is a little more precise than a language intended for a younger audience. However, the author has not chosen to make up a great many words that are unfamiliar to the reader or to use slang that might not be recognizable to all the intended audience. It is uncomplicated enough for the youngest readers, but it does not speak down to the reader. The language compliments the educated characters of the novel, as well as the robots who also speak within the plot. The language is authentic to the plot, the characters, and the intended audience, making it a good fit for this novel.
