I've got to disagree here. The words may be the same but the impact of the book is most certainly different once it's know that it was in large part fiction. It becomes less real. People who read an inspirational story about a real event will be more emotionally involved then peple reading a fiction story simply because one really happened to a real person and the other did not.
