The tone of this novel is very objective. Although Krakauer deals with a very emotional subject, the murder of a young mother and her baby, he manages to keep his writing detached from this emotion. In fact, Krakauer presents his story almost as if he were writing for a newspaper. He includes many facts in this well-researched novel. In addition to his research of historical papers, government documents and court recordings, Krakauer also interviews his subjects face to face.
