What is the author's style in Stormy Weather by Carl Hiaasen?

The language in this novel works because it is simple enough for even the youngest reader to understand, but diverse enough to give each character his or her own voice. The language breathes the characters life just as much as their back story or actions. This is important in a novel of this type in which there are so many characters that the reader may at times have trouble differentiating between each one, especially when so many of the characters have so many similar attributes, such as Snapper and Avila or Edie and Neria. These characters are so similar that having a unique voice sets them apart, enriching the narration with their individuality.
