What is the author's style in Death in the Long Grass by Peter H. Capstick?

The 297-page text is divided into nine enumerated and named topical chapters of uneven length. The chapters generally become shorter as the text progresses and range from the longest 58-page chapter about lion to the shortest 16-page chapter about rhinoceros. Each chapter has several pages of black and white photographs of the animal forming the primary topic of the chapter. Most of the photographs are interesting and of good quality. However, the strength of the book is absolutely the first-hand gritty detail and experience provided by Capstick's conversational presentation of safari adventure and misadventure. Capstick occasionally allows himself to lapse into fictive recreations of un-witnessed events such as the Cape Buffalo attack on the villager which opens Chapter 4; that is, many of the details presented—such as the villager's state of mind—could obviously not be discovered by examining his ragged remains.
