One of the most distinctive aspects of A Million Little Pieces is the highly stylized manner in which the text is written. Frey's language and grammar represent his stream of consciousness, capturing the way people think and speak, unconstrained by the rules of formal communication. Describing his mother's tears during one of their family sessions at the clinic, for example, Frey writes, "My Mother continues to cry. She cannot will not is unable to stop."
