The novel is written in the third-person omniscient point of view. The author uses many different narrators in the novel as he describes the events of the plot. In this way, the author not only allows the reader to know and feel sympathy for the main characters, but he also allows the reader to understand the motivations and actions of the antagonists.

The novel is divided by the day on which the activities in the novel take place. The novel includes fifty-five chapters. The chapters are fairly short and often end to denote a change in narrating character. The novel is told in the past tense. The novel is written in both narration and dialogue, giving the reader full scenes of the action rather than simply telling a story.
