What is the author's tone in the nonfiction book, From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death?

Caitlin Doughty writes with a friendly, approachable tone that never-the-less commands a sense of her authority as an expert in the deathcare industry. She makes careful and judicious use of humor and asides through parenthetical statements and sparse footnotes to successfully lighten the tone in a book about death and make it more accessible to readers.
