NEW BOOK: Freddie & Me ;
I have just received this new book, titled, Freddie & Me, by Mike Dawson. It is a cartoon based memory of how Queens music influenced peoples lives. Once I picked up this book I could not put it down, as there were so many parallels with my life. From the first time he heard Queen to the the sadness of Freddie's death. I will be reviewing this book in full over the next few days ... In summary this is a Great Book which will leave you caught in a landslide of memories and will also Entertain You. Full Review to Follow.... I have read the book twice and it is excellent!!!
