If you don't want to create a wrapper class you can also access the User this way:

String jsonString = "{\"user\":{\"user_id\": 1, \"user_type\": \"moderat...";

JToken user = root["user"];
User deserializedUser = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(user.ToString());

See this page in the Json.NET doc for details.
