Final Rating

I give this book 5 stars.

What's the Difference Between Biographies & AUTObiographies?

Biographies

A biography is a informational story about a person's life told by a different person. They don't know as much about the person's life as the person who's being talked about. Usually the biography isn't as informational as the autobiography.   Ex: Who Was...? series (by multiple different authors)

Autobiographies

An AUTObiography is someone's life story told by that person. Usually, autobiographies are more informative than a biography.   Ex: The Story of My Life (by Helen Keller)


Try to notice differences when you're reading stories about people's lives. Ask yourself, "Is this a biography or an AUTObiography?"
