Tone
I liked the tone of the book in that it presented what is a rather serious issue, murder, with a comical edge to it. At one point Jazz makes a comment about how helpful the skills he's acquired are, especially if you're interested in killing people. Another really funny moment was when Howie asks Jazz what his middle name is because all serial killers have three names. I thought that the comedy in the book made it more interesting. Without some funny quips the book would just be way too boring and serious and it wouldn't have been the same.
