Reviews:
Great insight ! This is a good insight into the behind the scenes look at Freddie Mercury, whom I greatly admire. Pretty basic factual stuff My intrigue for Freddie lead me to buy this book. I'm fascinated with his singing and showman abilities, and wanted to know on a personal level his more personal life. This book is more an account of his music and when and where it was made, which I really did not care much about, and took up much of the book. There is some little tid bits of information of how he felt and thought, but not many unknown personal stories. Much of what was written about him I had already learned from you tube videos. So I'm giving this account a 3 star which if possible I would probably give a 2 1/2 star. This is it the real deal up close and personal. This is a book by Freddie's personal assisant who lived right along side him. Almost as good as being there yourself. As far as a Freddie a biography this is at the top of the list along with Mercury and Me by Jim Hutton. It's good great pictures too. I highly recommend this book and I like to think of myself as a Freddie connoisseur. Can you ever really get enough Freddie stuff. I think not. I COULD NOT GIVE THIS BOOK AWAY I do not care how you feel about Freddie or people who lived his lifestyle. THE BOOK IS TERRIBLE AND THE PICTURES ARE A JOKE. I could not even give this book away to the public library!
You can read better and more accurate material for free online. There are many fansites that have reproductions of interviews conducted with Freddie and the other Queen members. A year or so ago, a trade publication dedicated the entire magazine to Queen and I learn new information.
Take my advice and search the web for information and photographs, you will be glad you did. a great account of life with Freddie Mercury Peter Freestone was Freddie Mercury's personal assistant from 1979 until Freddie's death in 1991. In that time, Peter found himself in the midst of many interesting scenarios, many of which are chronicled in his book. Peter's detailed account of the layout of Garden Lodge (Freddie's palatial home in the Kensington section of London) is especially noteworthy. Peter went around the world with Freddie, experienced many tours, witnessed many recording sessions and video shoots, met many people who came and went in Freddie's life, and was even with Freddie during his declining years. One can tell his loyalty to Freddie was steadfast. Even though I favor Jim Hutton's book over all other books written about Freddie Mercury, this one still gets my stamp of approval, and I would still recommend it. |
