Khorram uses a large amount of language that you typically wouldn’t expect in a novel. Using a half-sarcastic tone and half-humorous tone, characteristics of Darius are revealed throughout the entirety of the book. For example, “... right outside one of those clothing stores that catered to Soulless Minions of Orthodoxy like Fatty Bolger and Chip Cusumano” intrigues the reader.

Secondly Darius has gone through many things which I have not experienced like facing depression at a young age; that is just something I cannot relate to. Lastly, the discrimination he faced throughout the story is something I have not experienced or seem much of. It can be seen throughout the book that Darius really had no one to talk to except a few close people.
