The novel uses a third person omniscient point of view that focuses on different characters at different times. The narrator is objective and reliable, reporting the actions, thoughts and emotions of one character at a time. However, throughout the course of the novel, many characters are used as the narrator. This broad approach to storytelling presents a rich tapestry effect that is necessary for a story about what happens to a whole town that it is invaded by a predator drawn to depression.
