Every author has their own unique style of writing. The storm written by Norman Olstad, displays a great example of style within an author.specifically, the style in which I am talking about is somewhat informal. Often times while reading this book I will notice unnecessary swearwords, lack of quotations and other informalities that don't make the author look uneducated or whatever but give The text a little personality. Norman all start is by no means a popular or serious author; he's got a day job and is from what I have researched a physically active guy. There is no in-depth literary content to this book such as symbolism or allusions like you would find in a book like the Great Gatsby. That literary content is almost sacrificed for accurate story telling as this is a completely non-fiction book written by the main character on a personal experience. Although there's not much to figure out about this book between the lines, the author has a very defined style of writing. He uses a lot of jargon which to some may get in the way of understanding some of the situations. Luckily The author and I share similar interests and all of that jargon is second nature to me. It not only gives me a sense of satisfaction while I'm reading it, but it really helps me to get on his level when he is describing a lot of the situations in the book. 

I personally enjoy reading this book. Going into it I had no idea that the author shed the exact same interests as I do and it was clearly evident that he did it right from the beginning of the book before he directly shared his interests. All of the life lessons indirectly suggested are ones that I have learned by going through the same kinds of things. Although I have some first-hand experience on what the book is about, Norman has a lot more than I do and on a more extreme level as his father would push him as a young boy to be a daredevil.
