The language of the novel is highly adult in content, but is very relaxed and full of modern slang. The sentences are incomplete, as many of them are simply parts or fragments of thoughts. There is much profanity, and those easily offended will have a difficult time with the language. However, for others, the writing style is not a drawback, but actually adds to the impression of Johnny as an insane maniac. It adds a layer of information to the world of Johnny that would otherwise be missed. In addition, the phrases located within the borders of the strips add additional informational to each strip.
