A biography is the story of someone's life told by another person. It's a nonfiction book, meaning it is not made up--it's factual information. However, if you want the most accurate kind of biography of a famous person, read that person's autobiography. The autobiography is written by the person the book is about.

A fiction book is completely made up. None of it is true. Some fiction books are tricky and are written as if they were actually biographies. Like Memoirs of a Geisha--that's a completely fictious book, but it's written like a memoir--which is also a form of an autobiography, but a memoir describes only one specific aspect of a person's life.

Biography: nonfiction, facts.

Fiction: not true, totally made up.
