I really like the style that Mr. Dynamite is written in. I haven't read any other books, that I can remember, that are written in this kind of narration. By having Jarleth "speak" the way he does in this book, the author really portrays the insides and outs of this character. Jarleth is a pretty crazy character, but i think if this book was written in a standard style of, "Jarleth said this" or "said Jarleth" we wouldn't get half the detail of this character that we do get in this style. Also, some of Jarleth's thoughts or words are hard to follow for me, especially when I first started reading it. I think it might be easier to relate to him if I had a bottle of whiskey on hand while reading.
