Can you recommend some biographies that read like novels?
Sure. 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' is a great one. It reads like a novel as it weaves together the story of Henrietta, a poor African - American woman whose cells were taken without her knowledge, and the impact her cells had on medical research. It's engaging and full of human drama.
Another is 'Steve Jobs' by Walter Isaacson. It not only tells about Jobs' business achievements but also delves into his personal life, his quirks, his relationships, and his vision. The narrative style makes it feel like a novel, with a great flow and interesting anecdotes.
I would also suggest 'The Diary of a Young Girl' by Anne Frank. Although it's a diary, it can be considered a form of biography. Anne's vivid descriptions of her life in hiding during the Holocaust, her thoughts, dreams, and fears, are written in a very engaging way that reads like a novel.
