Reviews

4.3

4.3

“This book is unique in it's structure, a compilation of full pages of "story" text, illustrations, quotes, and captioned illustrations. I'd recommend this is more for older readers due to the style and amount of text (and a few pieces of content), but it's interesting, full of fun facts, and sure to be enjoyed by Freddie Mercury fans.”
