Editorial Reviews

Review

"A compelling look at British rock’s visionary "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" and the kind of magic Queen conjured." ― Publishers Weekly

"The design is striking, with bold typography and Castelló’s raw sketches, much like fashion illustrations, capturing Mercury in a number of glamorous poses...an engaging title." ― Booklist

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY! A Queen book for kids!
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020
It's been hard looking for a Queen book for children including my pet rabbit Daisy, they've always been about David Bowie, Led Zeppelin and KISS. But I got this as a Christmas gift and I LOVE seeing the whole gang in cartoon form! There really needs to be an animated Queen film, maybe in that style! Who knows what could happen? Totally recommend it for the world's youngest Queen stans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brief bio of Freddie Mercury and the band Queen
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2020
Bold illustrations, unique formatting and font changes give this unofficial biography of Freddie Mercury and the band Queen definite eye appeal. Text on most pages is direct, limited and out-weighed greatly by the artwork which makes this an accessible book to even the most reluctant or struggling reader in the target age range, likely grades 4-7. But while the tale is told in chronological order, it still manages to feel disjointed and jumbled at times and it is unlikely that students will understand the musical and theatrical jargon sprinkled liberally throughout the book. Definitely a “niche” biography, but libraries serving students with high interest in the performing arts may want to consider adding “Queen” to their collection. Final note: The sexual orientation of lead singer Freddie Mercury is referenced in only one paragraph where he is identified as gay and his battle against AIDS is mentioned. His more colorful exploits are not included.
