Title: BASED ON a true story
Review: This book is a DRAMATIZATION of events that actually happened; it's not a detached documentary. That said, it is a very good dramatization. The author obviously embelishes, at least on the details (many of which are not at all the kind that would be conveyed in an interview, and many of which are based on hearsay within hearsay), but even if this were pure fiction it would be enjoyable to read. Although it is impossible to know to what extent the basic story it true, it sounds plausible enough that one believes it could happen.It's written in a casual manner, so you don't have to be highly educated to understand the language, and this style works for the subject matter.I listened to the audiobook version, and the reader was good.
