What is the author's style in Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk?

Era-appropriate language is utilized throughout the work, lending credibility to both the place and time of the plot. Perhaps some of the appeal of the work, and certainly a tribute to the mastery of Wouk's story-telling, is his commitment to use language that is appropriate for each character developed. Marjorie herself uses speech that is typical of a properly educated young woman, although her vocabulary may be a bit beyond her level of education at age seventeen. Still, she reads voraciously, and this lends some credibility to her vocabulary usage. Rose and Arnold Morgenstern are typical immigrant Americans, whose language is certainly less sophisticated than that of Judge Ehrman, for example.
