What is the author's style in The Forgotten by Elie Wiesel?

London's language is that of a typical teenager. The characters of the book use average vocabulary and speak as you would expect for young, middle class teenagers. London and her mother have typical mother-daughter conversations, as do London and her best friend. Perhaps because of her experiences, London is more thoughtful than other characters of her age in the book. Slang is used in the book, but only occasionally. Cursing language is both limited and mild. The weakest link in language is that of Luke, London's boyfriend. His intensity and devotion are, perhaps, too mature for a boy his age.
