What is the author's style in The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe?

Rather than narrating the story of the early space program in a calm, objective style, Wolfe makes the method of telling as flashy and daring as any of the test pilots he describes. Serious writers limit their use of exclamation points and a reporter might go his entire career without using one. Tom Wolfe uses three on the first page of The Right Stuff. His sentences may be short and punchy or they may range over pages, with commas, dashes, italics, asides, parentheses, exclamation marks inparentheses and italics with exclamation points in parentheses.
