how much truth is the truth


                In my mind it has to be at least parallel to what actually happened in order for me to think that it would still be considered non-fiction. As long as they remain close to the truth that’s fine.  But it doesn’t really matter what I think because I don’t really read non-fiction.

                As long as the overall point of the book is still in perspective then if he bends the truth its fine as long as he does not break the truth.

It does because then how will you know if you can rely on something.

  1. I see your point because we should value a book more for its story or meaning rather than whether or not it is 100% true

  2. I agree, the half true statement needs to bind the book together.
