Why biographies are boring

Think of your life. Think about what you do everyday and think about
any really "defining moments" you've had. Would they be enough to make
a 300 page book? I could probably write a short story or children's
book about the one or two defining life moments, but I know it would
be super boring if I were to try to put my life into a 300 page book.

That's the conversation I wish I could have had before Carly Fiorina
wrote her biography/memoir thing. Ok, so I'm not done reading, I'm not
even halfway, but the book so far reads like a college entrance essay
where the person is trying desperately to describe to the readers "why
I deserve to go to university". If I were her publisher, I would have
told her to focus on one or two really defining moments and describe
those in great detail, rather than writing like 2-4 pages about each
phase of her life, skipping from paragraph to paragraph with no
obvious transitions.

And as for the whole big deal about her going to a strip club to seal
a sales deal with a bunch of men, what is the big deal? I'm sure there
are plenty of business women out there who had to make some sort of
personal moral sacrifice in order to make it in their job...big deal.
I can't believe I got suckered into reading this boring piece of
drivel. I'm not sure what I was expecting though.
