What is the author's style in Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell?

The point of view in the novel is first person limited. The narrator reports what other characters do, but he cannot see into their minds and hearts. The first person point of view is important to the story's theme of man vs. society. The reader needs to be able to relate to the narrator in order to feel the oppression and injustices the narrator feels as he makes his way in an unsympathetic world.
