This writing has a very witty, light style to it, reminding me of many Vonnegut novels such as "God Bless You, Mrs. Rosewater." It fit really well for a book that contains the devil and death as major characters, and a plot revolving around predicting death.
One of the devices that the author uses consistency is changing the perspective of the reader in order to show misunderstandings and how other characters feel. One example is when the main character believes a woman is in love with him based on how she is acting towards him. Then at the start of the next chapter, we see from her perspective that she is smiling at him and being nice because she thinks he is in the mafia. As the story goes on, we see the perspective of 5 or 6 different characters, and it really helps to fill out the story.
Overall, I loved many of the characters (some relate-able, others not so much), and how they intertwined with one another. I enjoyed the unexpected twists in the story. And there are many parts of the book that linger in your mind afterwards.
This is the first book I have read by J. Mulrooney, and I'll definitely be pre-ordering the next book he puts out.
