What is the author's tone in A Stolen Life: A Memoir by Jaycee Dugard?

Overall, tone is formal rather than conversational. This is a record of a serious and traumatic period, and as such it is treated with seriousness. Dugard admits that many sections of the book were difficult to write because they were so personal and traumatic, but whether it's through heavy editing or her own discipline, the narrative comes across as factual and almost journalistic. Dugard wishes above all to reveal the truth in "tell all" fashion, not to spew venom at Phillip and Nancy Garrido, and the tone helps to fulfill this wish.
