What is the author's style in Looking for Alaska by John Green?

The novel is written, for the most part, from the first person past tense point of view of narrator and protagonist Miles Halter. The events of the story are recounted from his intellectual, philosophical and experiential perspective, drawing the reader into his subjective experiences of school, love, and death. The primary value of this perspective is that engages the reader thoroughly with Miles' story, and arguably quite personally, since virtually all of his experiences, it could be argued, have been experienced by the reader in one way or another.
