Not so much what they write, but the way they write it. Do they use flowery overblown language, or short sharp sentences. Do they use imagery? Are there sub-texts.
That kind of thing.

The author's writing style is partly how s/he leads you to the conclusions s/he has made, how the story is told. Questions to ask when thinking about writing style are was the story narrated clearly enough for you to understand the point? Are the topics clear? What point of view did the author use (first person, third person, second person.) Does their approach make things more interesting or more difficult to read? Is the writing pretty much easy to read and understand? Is it straightforward or complex, complicated? Can you read it straight through in a day or do you need time to digest the book?
Provide supporting examples for whatever you write about the author's writing style. What I always did in class was to take an important or interesting passage or quote and write a couple thoughts about it to support my opinion.

Terms they use, ways in which they form their sentences.
Atmosphere.
Do they use the first person, or third person?
Do they use the same location for each book?
Do they use a certain type of unusual punctuation throughout the piece of writing?
All these things go into style.
