When it comes to writing about ones life, I believe that the author should in fact write the truth. When most people tell stories, they use a lot or just a bit of exaggeration. Exaggeration is what makes stories more interesting and keeps the reader’s attention. I do not mind at all if authors want to add better details about a situation to make it more appealing. That also makes more enjoyable reading. I have a problem when an author adds situations or encounters that never actually happened in their memoirs. If the author wants to make up stories or events in their life, then they should write a fictional book, not a memoir/biography.
