The Bone Cage- Realistic Fiction

        The Bone Cage is a great fiction book that can be classified as a realistic fiction. Since the story revolves around two athletes training for the Olympics while having to overcome emotionally experiences a long the way; this can easily be something that could have actually happened. There are Canadian athletes all around Canada that with no doubt went through the same routines of intense training as Sadie and Digger did. Although the story isn’t true, it is defiantly a story that can compare to most Olympic athletes. Many people wonder how Olympic athletes become so great and so fit so after reading this story it kind of sets what these athletes do, to reality. I noticed even on the back of the book an associated professor of Angie Abdou wrote, “The Bone Cage immerses the reader in a passionate plot that is all the more compelling because of its realism.”  I agree with this. All the readers know this is a fiction book but the way she created the characters and the description she made of their lives made it seem so realistic and close to reality for most elite athletes.
