The novel is told mostly in exposition with very little dialogue. The writer often tells of things that have taken place in a past tense order or he tells them in a summary style that does not offer much in the way of actual scenes. There are long passages of dialogue at some points in which the writer is showing a character telling the other characters about the war, but again this is often told in such a way that the dialogue is in a summary type of passage that does not include the actual dialogue, word for word. Although this limits scenes, it moves the novel at a rapid pace, some chapters covering years within the stretch of just a few pages.
