Biographies Memoirs Book Reviews Articles
The story of a life should be larger than that one person's tale, encompassing the culture and events that moved around them and shaped their choices. Biographies, autobiographies and memoirs can be marvelous pictures of people in their times, or they can be as boring as your high school history textbook. Rather than reading the books and suffering through the bad ones, let real readers tell you about the best and the worst of the genre. Enter our database and find reviews of celebrity bios, royal memoirs, and the biographies of historical figures. You may even discover a hidden gem, perhaps a humorous unauthorized autobiography or a book about someone's immigrant grandmother which portrays the struggles and triumphs of a whole class of people. If your website posts celebrity gossip, histories of world events, politics, or any other focus involving famous individuals, you can get book reviews here to improve your content choices.

Dan Zevin has a laid-back and easy way of writing. His writing style makes for a fun, quick read due to the face that the book is only 172 pages long.

For such a towering figure, whose influence on popular music continues to reverberate almost 30 years after his death, there have been surprisingly few quality John Lennon biographies. Philip Norman's exhaustive effort claims to be definitive largely due to the cooperation and input of several key players, namely McCartney and Ono, though Lennon's widow has subsequently withdrawn her blessing, deeming Norman's treatment 'unfair'. Which it may or may not be, depending on whether or not you thought Lennon was a total git.
