As a reader I draw towards fiction because it's a mixture of ones own experiences as well as a fantasy world. Let's face it, I like to read fiction to go into a world away from the reality of my world. The symbolism through out a book in general heightens my senses and captures my mind. I find myself captivated with the character with each and every word! In my opinion an excellent book weaves truth and fiction to create a story that is believable.
