Another characteristic is that they can educate the readers about historical or real - life situations. Fiction books based on a true story like 'Hidden Figures' not only tell a great story about the African - American women who worked at NASA but also educate people about the racial and gender discrimination that was prevalent at that time.
Another characteristic is that they can give readers a deeper understanding of a particular time or event.

These books usually blend facts with fictional elements like dialogue or some minor plot details. Take 'Schindler's Ark' (also known as 'Schindler's List' in its film version).

Sometimes dry historical facts can be boring, but when they're in a fictional story, it's easier to engage with.
Another is 'Into Thin Air' by Jon Krakauer. This book is based on the true events of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster. Krakauer was part of the climbing expedition and his book details what went wrong during that fateful climb, including the decisions made and the extreme conditions on the mountain.
Yes and no. There are crime fiction books that are based on true stories. Authors might take a real crime and fictionalize it, changing names, adding fictional characters or plot twists. But many crime fiction works are completely made up. They're the product of the author's creativity, designed to entertain readers with fictional mysteries and crimes.
I'm not sure of a specific book titled exactly '13 based on true story'. There are many books based on true stories, but this title doesn't ring a bell immediately. It could be a self - published or very niche book.
They are typically classified as fiction. Even if they draw inspiration from real events, they incorporate fictional elements and creative interpretations.
