A review by clarissacardona
Somebody to Love: The Life, Death and Legacy of Freddie Mercury by Matt Richards

4.0

Interwoven with a history and stigma of HIV/AIDS, this is an in-depth biography of Freddie Mercury. Of course, every biography contains false information as it is written based on human recollection which can never be entirely accurate. That being said, the book goes into detail about Freddie's life and does not shy away from his rock star lifestyle and the dangers, and, eventually, devastating disease it brought to his life.

I knew most of this but it was an interesting view into how private of a person Freddie was and the huge persona he would present on stage. The authors immediately state that what they present about his contracting HIV and death is just speculation, but they do a good job of laying out the story behind the greatest performer in rock history.

We love you, Freddie!
