Kinflicks alternates between satire and seriousness, with mixed success according to most critics, who nevertheless were impressed by such nerve — and energy — in a first novel. A mixture of tones is achieved by having alternate chapters told in Ginny's own irreverent, slangy (profane) style, and the author's removed, more objective voice; many events are thus seen from two perspectives. Ginny, not without intelligence, often seems to understand, or to comment sardonically on what happens to her, even while remaining passive.
