I did noticed when I first bought the book that it was in the fiction section. I wouldn't have thought much about it but throughout the book it was repeatedly stated, oh this is true or this isn't true.. but it really is. It threw me off a bit. Maybe there are some points that are true but details are fabricated. How would you really go about deciding what is true and what isn't?
I don't think making up pieces of stories to exaggerate really puts emphasis on a situation. If the situation is intense enough, shouldn't we already feel what the author wants us to feel? I didn't like that he filled in gaps of his memory with made up stories. If you don't remember a certain part, then so be it. The small made up details can pull you away from the truth of the story. It may exaggerate the story leaving the audience wondering how valid is this story?
As far as politics, we want to follow whoever says what we want to hear but if there is no truth it in what good does it do for us? I think honesty in politics is very important. We don't want to believe something will happen to later find out that everything was a lie. for exampl,e Americans were frustrated to find out that Nixon had been bombing Cambodia when he had told them we were pulling out of the Vietnam War.
