Firstly, I should say that I read the book and thought it was very good.
Would knowing that it was partly fiction taken away from my enjoyment?
Probably not (although it would have been more honest).

One thing I have found is people do tend to lie and exaggerate about
their life when you talk to them so why not in their memoirs.

One question I would ask is, is it easier to get nonfiction published in the
states (I live in the UK by the way) than fiction? And is 'faction' even harder
to sell?
