The chapters in "Everlost" are set up as normal chapters with the name of the chapter and the number. The book is told in second person point of veiw; the narrator knows each of the characters’ feelings. I like it this way because then I'm not limited to one's emotions and thoughts, but to all of the character's emotions and thoughts. The book is also split into four parts. "Everlost" is very much set up like Neal Shusterman's other two books from the UnWind trilogy: "UnWind" and "UnWholly." (Everlost is part of the Skinjacker trilogy; this is the first book.) Both trilogies are told in first person point of view and both trilogies have their own vocabulary that you need to know.
A few words that you need to know for the Skinjacker trilogy are: skinjack, vapors, fleshies and Afterlights. Afterlights are the souls that cross into Everlost; living humans call them ghosts. Vapors, are a group of Afterlights. Skinjack is the term that is used in Everlost for possesing a living being, though only few posses the power of skinjacking. A fleshie is a skinjacker slang term for a living human being.
