# 13 Best Celebrity Memoirs Ranked – And Prince Harry’s Spare Doesn’t Make the List
Prince Harry’s much-publicised memoir, Spare, has notably failed to secure a spot on the prestigious list of top celebrity autobiographies. This surprising outcome highlights the competition in the realm of personal narratives among the celebrity elite.
The rankings reveal a selection of memoirs that have captivated readers, showcasing their unique stories and experiences. Unlike Spare, many of these works stand out due to their raw and engaging storytelling. One entry in this esteemed list is particularly praised for its authenticity. “It's clear from the first page that Davis is going to serve a more intimate, unpolished account than is typical of the average (often ghost-written) celebrity memoir,” noted a review from USA Today, emphasizing the divergence from standard celebrity narratives.
Here is the full list of the 13 best celebrity memoirs:
1. **Becoming** by Michelle Obama
2. **The Long Way Round** by Ewan McGregor
3. **Just as I Am** by Cicely Tyson
4. **Born a Crime** by Trevor Noah
5. **The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo** by Amy Schumer
