It does seem to suggest that there are a few people whose lives really are exceptional and of genuine interest to many others
I would argue that there are few people who lead lives that are devoid of any interest to others. The difficult thing is to write about one's life in a way that that conveys the events and emotions to another in 'colour and 3D' as if it were. But even the most unpromising material can be brought to life given a good editor. The largely autobiographical Book of Ebenezer Le Page immediately springs to mind.
