What is the author's style in The Path to Power by Robert A. Caro?

The Path to Power is informative, and when compared to technical documentation, the writing is casual and loose. The biography is clearly designed for mass scale consumption in society and not designed as a textbook. The writing is clear and expressive. It is neither too simple nor overarching in its complexity. The level of vocabulary indicates the book has been written for a college educated readership. For some it will almost seem too plain in its style, whereas for others this will be noticed as being just right in terms of its presentation.

The author writes in a knowledgeable manner. He seems to understand politics and also people. He does a fine job of presenting the truth in the form of a story. Not everyone is able to give facts a real feeling of being a story, but Robert Caro is able to do so. As such, the readers are able to enjoy a sense of wonder as the subject's life is described such that it unfolds for the reader.
