Comment on structure

The novel is divided into thirty-seven chapters. Each chapter is narrated by a different character, beginning with Kyle and ending with Nelson in a cycle that is predictable. The author tells his story with both narration and dialogue, taking the reader along on an exciting trip rather than just telling about it. There is a great deal of inner monologue in the novel as well, as each of the main characters works out their feelings regarding one another and others in their lives.
