comment on style / language

The book is written in a prose that sometimes rambles and appears disjointed. Though there are some common themes throughout, the book doesn’t tell a story in the traditional sense of the word. There are many fragmented pieces that make up the book and the events, people, and places described are connected only by the people experiencing them. It can be argued that his thoughts and experiences are typical of those who travel the migrant farm path, making the book more a story of group of people than of a single person.
