What is the author's style in Running Scared: The Life and Treacherous Times of Las Vegas Casino King Steve Wynn by John L. Smith?

It is clear that Smith has a strong grasp on the history of Las Vegas from its earliest days with Bugsy Siegel to the introduction of Bill Harrah, Donald Trump, and Steve Wynn. Smith keeps the text as reader friendly as possible, outlining rather than detailing complicated financial and/or legal proceedings.
