While his skill in each style individually is exceptional‚ the way he switches between the two interrupts his flow and the contrasting styles do not fit together well. Junger combines styles as an attempt to broaden his audience and to keep the writer interested‚ but for me‚ he was unsuccessful. While he tries to appeal to the reader through the three forms
