About this deal

Not only Freddie, but the whole band fascinated me so much that I did what I usually do: I jumped deep into the fandom.

If this review doesn't indicate how important Queen and Freddie are in my world then I don't know what will! Queen in July 1985 rehearsing for Live Aid: Brian May and Freddie Mercury, with Roger Taylor and John Deacon behind.

Cuando tu ídolo a marcado un época y es una leyenda, como Freddie Mercury, lees todo sobre él, y más cuando he utilizado muchos de sus temas, muchas de sus letras en mis novelas. I didn't find it easy reading: you "savour every moment" as it were, and I have taken my time to get through the book. From the chapter titles, the opening quotes on each page of a new chapter to Freddie’s honest words written down in this book , I have found this an intriguing read. Overall, this book is an ode to Freddie Mercury that reflects what he said and what he saw in himself.

I have become fascinated with Freddie Mercury since falling in love with the film Bohemian Rhapsody. And he does it, of course, in his own inimitable, unpredictable, invariably funny, often poignant, and always entertaining way. What I did experience was that I was actually hearing Freddie saying the words as I read them, which was bizarre, delightful and heart-rending all at the same time. Queen е издаден след смъртта на Фреди и включва последните песни, които той записва, и във всяка една от тях се усеща силата на духа му, жаждата за живот и невероятният оптимизъм! I think that different parts of this book will impact different people, but will nonetheless keep Freddie Mercury prominent at the same time.Instead of a biography, in which the subject’s life is presented in a timeline and with a set of sources by a biographer, this book is put together to be Freddie Mercury’s own words. I think the guys have done an excellent job of capturing Freddie's essence in this clever book: it's the closest any of us are going to get to the fascinating, mercurial man that he was. No le doy las cinco estrellas porque no sé cuán verídico es todo lo que "Freddie” nos cuenta en este libro. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

There’s also no set chronology, only themes to start chapters off and occasional notes to give the readers greater context of the time, place, or person Freddie is discussing.

I'll be honest here, I hadn't heard before that Freddie has an autobiography and the words his life in his own words picked my interest. Molti spunti interessanti e un tuffo nella vita di un grandissimo artista, quindi non mi sento di dare meno di tre stelle, ma il tutto risulta poco leggibile. There were parts of this book that were clearly adapted from interviews of Freddie Mercury and you could almost tell that there was context missing, such as the question asked or perhaps something else he said that hadn’t been recorded. As much as i love Queen band this was my first book to read about them but more about Freddie Mercury it was a brilliant book and it sounded just like him (i mean what i have seen on youtube interviews with him) .

His quotes build up a peek for the reader into his life, however, he never once discusses his lover from 1984, Jim Hutton, who has sadly passed away. That being said, I really did enjoy just reading his words and thoughts brought out in such a manner. An essential read not just for fans of Queen and their iconic frontman, but anyone intrigued to know more about one of music’s most endearing and enduring performers. It was a good concept I thought, but in execution wasn’t the book I had hoped for as a Freddie Mercury fan.

Freddie’s own personal story is one of pursuing a dream, dealing with wealth and fame, looking back and having no regrets, reflecting on getting old, his legacy, and death. Luego de ese éxito hubieron otros como "Radio Gaga", "Another one bites the dust" escritas por Roger y Jhon respectivamente. I would never believe that a book would contain his actual words if it was filled with details of his sexlife or his private life.
