What is the author's style in Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham?

The point of view of the novel is third person omniscient. The main part of the story is seen through the eyes of the main character, Philip Carey. A great deal of the narration is seen through Philip's eyes and is colored by his thoughts and emotions. However, at times the point of view shifts to other characters, such as Philip's uncle, showing the scene from the emotional point of view of that character. Often the switch in point of view happens in the middle of a scene, slipping from one character's mind to another's without any warning.
