comment on style language

The novel is written in simple, straight-forward English. The main characters in this novel are mostly educated people, with some having less than a college degree. The language, therefore, varies between street language filled with slang and proper, well worded dialogue. The novel deals with drugs and medical situations; therefore, it includes words that might not be immediately recognizable by some readers that refer to these situations. However, the language is not highly technical, and therefore the reader can easily decipher any unrecognizable words through the context in which they are used.
