Sometimes a bit chaotic regarding structure but a nice read nonetheless

I don't think there's anything that can make my love for Queen and Freddie Mercury go away. When I first bought the two biographies on Freddie Mercury I was afraid that I'd end up liking Freddie less. I can safely say that I love him and the whole lot of Queen even more than I did before. They were and still are all really one of a kind and I'm so glad I finally found my love for the band Queen. 

This book Mercury and Me had me in tears. I could really feel the love between Jim and Freddie and, although it was also messy at times (of course, which relationship isn't), they were so lovely together. I'm so glad to read that Freddie finally found someone to love and who loved him back, just for the person he was. Someone who he could enjoy the last years of his life with. Of course, this is written from Jim's perspective and I don't know what's really the truth and what's just Jim's view and thoughts on things. Mary Austin didn't really come out very well: the parts about her had my jaw on the floor, but I don't know if it all happened exactly as Jim told.

This book is a really intense and intimate read on the relationship between Jim and Freddie. It doesn't seem to hide anything that happened between Freddie and Jim. I think it's a must read for every Freddie Mercury fan out there!
