Sometimes you come across real life stories and think "you couldn't have made that up", on the assumption that no-one would have believed it as a work of fiction, and only because it actually did happen does it now have to be believed. Sometimes, therefore, in order to write a realistic story, but one that people will always know is, underneath it all, make-believe, you almost have to err on the side of caution so people don't say "pah, that could never have happened" and put the story down. This book doesn't follow this pattern though. In fact, it's so unrealistic, so unlikely, so unbelievable in places that it goes full circle and becomes all the more believable as a result, if that makes sense.
