What is the author's style in Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury?

The one-page prologue is from a narrator's point of view. Chapter 1 is from the lightning rod salesman's point of view. He is just arriving in town as a stranger and taking stock of the place, much as the reader is just arriving at the story and getting his or her bearings. The majority of the rest of the story takes place from Will's point of view, although several chapters are from Mr. Halloway's point of view. Chapter 9 takes place in Jim's point of view briefly, but mostly what we know of Jim comes from observations by Will and Mr. Halloway. Chapter 10 briefly returns to the lightning rod salesman, before he disappears, and Chapter 25 features Miss Foley.

Some of the chapters featuring both Will and Jim as they investigate Mr. Dark and the carnival are from an omniscient point of view. Sometimes the point of view shifts quickly within chapters. For instance, in a few chapters, the beginning is from a narrator's point of view to frame the current situation, and then it moves to Will, Mr. Halloway, or one of the other characters. Will and his father tell most of the story because they are the most developed characters, and the development of their relationship to each other is a central part of the story. They are also the two characters who think things through and analyze the most, so it makes sense for them to handle the words. Jim is more impulsive and acts more often from his intuition.
