This book reads like the author made a list of names of every person who has ever come into contact with every other person who's come into contact with any member of any band that any member of queen ever played in and then thought of words to string all the names together. There are very few actual band quotes or anecdotes, no amusing stories, no gossip and not many good photos. I was totally disappointed and unsatisfied after reading this book and will look for the "semi-official" biography" with hopes that it's the polar opposite of this dry list of everyone who almost was in the band but is so glad that they weren't because otherwise they wouldn't have fulfilled their life's dream of selling rugs or some such crap. I'm almost conscious-stricken about reselling it, but not quite since someone else scammed me and I want my money back, damn it!
