What is the author's style in Eaters of the Dead: The Manuscript of Ibn Fadlan by Michael Crichton?

Ibn Fadlan does not waste time with poetic devices or expansive descriptions. He states what he sees and how he feels about what he encounters in succinct descriptions. Because of this concise manner of existence, the reader immediately knows what is going on and what the speaker thinks about what is happening. The reader does not waste time sifting through flowery language to grasp the meaning of the story. There are no hidden meanings in the story to understand.
