Stylistically

I don't understand this claim, which as far as I know, how been on this page for years:

Stylistically, the novel is marked by direct, clear language, appearing simpler than, upon inspection, it actually is: "The crowd had gathered around the old field house at the near end of the football field. The firemen stood by their truck drinking coffee and taking turns with the hose. No flames were visible, though I could hear the water seethe as it hit the roof. The shingles had burned through here and there, exposing a sheet of charred subroofing that sent up a greasy hiss of smoke as the firemen played the hose over it."

No commentary, no references, nada. Kill please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.171.79 (talk) 05:34, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand it either. I've deleted that paragraph, since it seemed original research. 190.17.178.56 (talk) 16:26, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
