Il risultato è stato un libro che non vedevo l'ora che finisse, ma che ho comunque letto fino in fondo per rispetto del protagonista. Quindi la mia conoscenza dei Queen riguarda più la loro musica piuttosto che le loro vite private: però non posso dire che Freddie Mercury. No hay habido éxito que se le compare a Rhapsody, es una obra maestra con tintes de ópera y rock pesado. I really enjoyed this book because I could hear Freddie in my mind speaking - it truly is written i his own words.

I have no criticism for the words of Freddie Mercury himself, but the way this book was put together wasn't that cohesive and because it was taken from lots of different interviews, some parts of it were very repetitive. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Still, this book was what it claimed to be: a memoir style compilation of words spoken and written by the famous Freddie Mercury. This book is a collection of everything Freddie ever has said about his life and his career in interviews and articles and stuff like that. In addition to his work with Queen, he also led a solo career and was occasionally a producer and guest musician (piano or vocals) for other artists.Some of the content may be a little vague to those who aren't huge Queen/Freddie Mercury fans who have a solid knowledge of the bands' history. I think the concept on a whole was a cool idea: it’s all quotes from Freddie Mercury’s interviews but they’re spliced together to make a somewhat cohesive narrative. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

I've read almost all of the biographies out there about Freddie Mercury, and I learned something from each one, but this book is the one that will make you feel like you really got to know the man behind the legend. I'm just a singer with a song" (o nome de um dos capítulos) é parte da letra da música "In my defense", não de "The great pretender", conforme indica o livro.Que se puede decir de Queen que no se haya dicho ya, solo se tendría que decir que ¡Dios salve a la reina! Told across 20 chapters and 194 pages, this is Freddie’s life in his own words - delivered in his own inimitable, unpredictable, invariably funny, often poignant, and always entertaining way.

Certo, non è che se mi capita non legga articoli o guardi interviste, ma non sento la necessità impellente di sapere tutto lo scibile sull’artista X. 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. No le doy las cinco estrellas porque no sé cuán verídico es todo lo que "Freddie” nos cuenta en este libro.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. Freddie Mercury died, aged just 45, but he left a legacy of incredible music and incredible performances. 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. In 20 chapters, 194 pages and nearly 73,000 words—and 45 years in the making—Freddie covers it all, and then some!

This new edition takes the previously pieced together words of Freddie Mercury from interviews and notes and adds to it new information and words that have emerged from the Queen archives. Although at times, some of the excerpts from interviews felt a bit redundant, you could get a sense of exactly what Freddie was feeling at the time he was speaking.In the beginning, I found it very stilted and disorienting to have quotes about a common topic grouped together with nothing to make them flow together.
