The book is written in the first person in clear language that is easy to understand and quick and easy to read. There is no jargon of any kind and very few foreign terms used. When they are used, they are defined very well so the reader does not wonder what the term means. The book does not contain any vulgar language. There is emotionality and the reader can sense Carlos' rage at the treatment the Filipinos receive. Carlos has faith in America and the reader sees this come through several times, even though one wonders how, at times, given the treatment the Filipinos received. His purpose in writing the book is to tell their story.
