What is the author's tone in the novel, Wayward?

Blake Crouch tells his novel, Wayward, in language that is simple, brief, and straightforward. This is done for two reasons, primarily. The first is that the novel is a thriller, and the simple, straightforward language gives an urgency to, and makes the plot seem fast-paced. Secondly, the simple and straightforward language is appropriate to a thriller, for it renders only that which is necessary, appropriate to be told. Additionally, Crouch often writes his prose in a fragmented style, leaving his sentences in bits and pieces and fragments. This adds extra urgency to the prose and the plot.
