Very, very good. It had an element of suspense that made you want to keep reading.

i thoroughly enjoyed this. i’ve been a Queen fan for a long time and always found Freddie Mercury fascinating, an LGBTQ+ icon and a true showman. my only other reference of Queen apart from their music was the film Bohemian Rhapsody, which i now understand had to change timelines and fabricate some things in order to create the narrative structure of a film.
whilst this book did dive into the origins of HIV/AIDS, i didn’t mind as i didn’t know a lot about the disease. it was informative and had a good balance of medical and biographical writing. very good i liked it :)
challenging emotional informative inspiring sad medium-paced

This book interweaves Freddie's life with the history of HIV and AIDS, and that more than anything made it worth a listen. Some parts of the story veered into the type of tabloid muck that the author claims to condemn. This is, I suspect, exactly what many readers want from a celebrity bio, but I was hoping for better.
informative slow-paced

Desperately needed a good editor. This author is desperate to erase bisexuals.
