Jerome writes the novel in British English, widely utilizing British idioms throughout the text. The language is conversational, relaxed, and congenial, and Jerome often uses understatement as a source of humor. The author's style is anecdotal..... and the author regularly goes off the beaten path, bringing unrelated but entertaining stories to the forefront.
