I never read the book BUT I do know the types of figurative language if that’ll help.
Similes: a comparison using like/as.
For example: she is as innocent as an angel.
Metaphor: a comparison of things that are not alike normally.
For example: the black sheep, if you have cold feet, etc.
Hyperbole: an extreme exaggeration
For example: I’m so hungry I could eat a horse!
