Freddie Mercury: A Life, In His Own Words Review: ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! - I downloaded a sample of it from Kindle before buying and that was enough to know, it was wonderful. Not to be mistaken as authored by him, the description is a bit misleading at times. But it does seem to be in his own words and style, taken from interviews, but without the questions being asked. It feels like he is just earnestly talking right to you. Really authentic. Truly Freddy! And often funny, throwing in a few personal tidbits, here and there. Halfway through it and trying to slow down my pace, so I can savor the joy longer. I take it with me , I always have a book, but this time people see HIS picture on the front and apparently I am walking around with a natural conversation starter, EVERYWHERE! Always the same, someone sees my book and says “Oh!, I just love Freddy”. They don’t even ask if it’s good! It’s all about loving Freddy. My only complaint, I wish it was longer!! It’s good reading, with a nice pace to it and the authors did quite a good job of editing. They didn’t bleep out much of Freddy’s language, if any. Keeps it authentic. Just so you know, the man was a cusser, yet never sounded particularly vulgar, more like, he was just stating a fact. He has a good vocabulary and uses terms, probably from England, that make me laugh. Like he doesn’t use “aerosols“ (deodorant, I think?) because that is followed up with “my armpits are my own”. TMI, but that too, is Freddy. No boundaries, no filters. He is such a genuinely like-able fellow and this view of him only reinforces that. If you enjoy Freddy, this is an interesting perspective. He is really smart and interesting, talking about many things, touring, band member relationships, writing music, what it means or doesn’t mean to him, and sure, some of it we've either already seen or heard on occasion. But this feels very conversational. And it is easy reading. Going by way too fast!!! 10 stars!!! Review: wonderful book but missing dates of interviews - I found this to be a lovely collection of Freddie's own words and thus free from an interviewer's interpretation. It reads like an autobiography and I think the authors are to be commended for organizing his comments to flow with each topic. His outlook changes over time, as do all of ours, but because there are no dates of the interviews used to compile each chapter, I wasn't able to understand his feelings within the context of what was happening in his life at the time. Freddie comes across as very intelligent, insightful, and happy with his accomplishments leaving me to think that he really did live the life he wanted. I sure hope so. He gave us all so much. Rest in peace, Freddie. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #179,688 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #609 in Actor & Entertainer Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (6,207) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.51 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1688967486 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1688967489 | | Item Weight | 15.5 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 200 pages | | Publication date | September 5, 2019 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![Freddie Mercury: A Life, In His Own Words - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YuyZwXvnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! *by K***S on October 8, 2021* I downloaded a sample of it from Kindle before buying and that was enough to know, it was wonderful.
