Expand Your Horizons Challenge: A biography about a famous person you dislike.

As part of my local library's reading challenges, I was tasked to read a biography about someone I dislike. I found this category daunting, wanting to complete it but not wanting to spend a lot of time on someone of little interest to me. So I found a book that was about 100 pages and read it. The info was dated (copyright 2012) and while I still dislike Beyonce's music, I did enjoy learning about her numerous philanthropic endeavors. Task completed <>

This biography of Beyonce is slightly out of date (published mid-2012) but will do well to satisfy young fans’ curiosity.
