Great book for Hilary Duff fans

Are you looking for a nice, detailed biography about today's teen queen, Hilary Duff? Look no further. "Hilary Duff: A Not-So-Typical Teen", is an excellent book for Hilary Duff fans. It was written by Nancy Krulik, and I've read many celebrity biographies she wrote, and all of them were very good. This one is no exception! It tells you Hilary's life story up until 2003- like how she got started in acting, her days on "Lizze McGuire", movies she's starred in, her singing days (including the release of her smash album "Metamorphosis"), what's ahead, and a quiz in the back to test how much you really know about Hilary. Plus, there are eight pages of cool color pics of Hilary! I bought this book two weeks ago, and I've already read it five times, it's that good! However, since the book is unauthorized, there might be a little false information here and there, so watch out. But I would say that this is a great purchase and an excellent, well-written biography.
