The entire Quality of Quantity (Redemption of an American Expatriate) by James J Houts is filled with language like this that just flows beautifully on the page and in the mind. Every single word is chosen with flawless precision for the maximum effect on both the literature and the reader. My favorite aspect of the book was the formatting of each chapter with how each chapter occurred at a different time in the main character’s life; it truly allowed me to feel like I could understand the character without having to know everything instead the writing style allowed me to fill in the blanks using my own mind.
