What is the author's tone in the nonfiction book, All About Love: New Visions?

hooks writes with clarity, straightforwardness, and honesty. She does does not veil her opinions or arguments in metaphor or figurative language and opens many chapters with clear, decisive statements that are unlikely to be misinterpreted by readers. For example, in the first paragraph of Chapter 8, which is about community, hooks states unequivocally: “There is no better place to learn the art of loving than in community” (161). These types of clear, strong statements occur throughout the book, even when hooks is writing about more ephemeral subjects such as spirituality. For example, in Chapter 5, which is about spirituality, she clearly and firmly states: “All awakening to love is spiritual awakening” (115-116).
