There are multiple narrators and points of view guaranteed to annoy many readers. Some chapters are written in present while others are in past. There's a diary section, some third person and some first as well. Basically, something to frustrate any reader expecting a straight narrative.
Whoops - sorry for the misrepresentation! I remembered it as all present tense.
