Title: Disappointed-novel based on true events
Review: Just got the book a few days ago and could not wait to read it. Unfortunately, this book is essentially historical fiction. To the authors' credit, they admit to adding fictional characters and fabricating dialog and scenes, all in the interest of making the book "entertaining"; alas, I did not have the preface at my disposal before adding the book to my shopping cart. After reading the first several chapters, I gave up and merely skimmed the remaining pages, only stopping to read those that contained actual, substantiated facts. Potential readers should be aware that this is a novel based on true events, not true non-fiction. And the authors, who missed a golden opportunity to produce an excellent piece of work, should be aware that well-written non-fiction can engross a reader without relying on fabricated events and converations.
