I think unless you generally read and / or enjoy memoirs and biographies, two main factors necessary.
You have to be interested in the person or at least one important event / time in their life that is guaranteed to be mentioned in the book.
You could technically so enjoy a book about somebody you do not know anything about, but then they must have (had) either a very interesting life or the book is written in an especially captivating way.
