A good biography includes many photographs and details of the subjects life, both personal and professional. A really good biography tugs at your heart strings, makes you cry, and then makes you want cookie dough. It also depends on the subject. Marilyn Monroe's 1966 biography was especially moving and provocative because of the glamorous and troubled life she lived. My autobiography might not be as moving, but the brush is in my hands and it's up to me to paint that picture.
