Documented facts about the subject's life are related in chronological order. Some examples are James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small . An objective biography sometimes can be boring or not very readable.
Monumental biography provides a monument to the subject.
Often these biographies minimize the faults of the individual. However, there seem to be more and more biographies using an antimonumental approach such as Mommie Dearest by Christina Crawford. Many of these books are written about politicians and entertainers. Other monumental biographies deal with handicapped or recently deceased celebrities and sometimes deify the subject. Wonder by Haskins are in this category.
