To begin with - no, the style of this book never changes from the first pages. And guessing you don't have those or any other pages right in front of you at this moment, here goes. Probably three quarters of paragraphs are actually less than a line in length. There is a great habit of splitting sentences between paragraphs, however, especially when it comes to then repeating those sentences, or bits of them, or using onomatopoeic phrases and noises on a loop to near-frustrating effect. There are also, in a sense, two narrative voice-overs, one in italics, the other not - these also loop. There is an exceptionally noticeable poetic result from all this, however - and therefore the autopsy scene in this book is certainly distinctive (still gory, but unique at the same time).
