What is the author's style in For One More Day by Mitch Albom?

The main body of the novel, For One More Day, is written from the autobiographical, self-revelatory point of view of Chick Benetto. It's presented essentially as a diary or journal, chronicling his thoughts and experiences and reflections as much as it does particular incidents - there is a real, engaging sense of intimacy about the way this point of view is used.
