Flattening deserialization structure

Question

I have some JSON that I want to deserialize using Json.Net but I don't want to mimic the JSON object structure. For example I have this order object:

{
    "order":
    {
        "order_id": "111-22222222-33",
        "account_identifier": "my account id",
        "customer": "my customer",
        "sku": "WALM-E-500-STD",
        "amount": 500,
        "reward_message": "my message is awesome",
        "reward_subject": "my subject is awesome",
        "reward_from": "me",
        "delivered_at": "2013-11-10T12:49:00+00:00",
        "recipient": {
          "name": "me",
          "email": "my@email.com"
        },
        "reward": {
          "token": "1234567890.1234567890",
          "number": "A1234567890",
          "redemption_url": "http://some.domain.com/r/1234567890"
        }
    }
}

I don't want recipient or reward properties, instead I want to flatten those so that name, email, token, number, and redemption_url become properties of the order. Is that possible?

Try this other answer on Stackoverflow: How to Convert JSON object to Custom C# object?

It shows a way to instantiate an object's properties using JSON.NET in the constructor. By doing this, you can individually map the data from your structure to the appropriate property in your object.
