review 1: Mike Dawson's autobiography, told in the context of his love for his favorite rock group Queen, is everything you'd want a graphic novel (or bio, in this case) to be - intelligent, interesting, fun, and very well done in the art department. At one point, as he muses over his diary, he imagines that anthropologists of the future who might find it would conclude that it was the diary of a really boring person, which isn't fair at all - while his life is never much out of the ordinary, it still makes for a good and thoughtful read.
review 2: I’m a massive QUEEN fan and think that Freddie Mercury was a musical genius on par with Mozart, so I was all set to love a story that revolved around him. So imagine my surprise when the book turned out to be a deeply person... moreal memoir that only kind of relates to Queen in that the author was obsessed with hem as a child. There are more details about Wham! than there are about the titular Freddie.Some kudos are deserved for Dawson’s expert exploration of what memory is and how music shapes and follows us throughout our lives. It really is a very personal story and Dawson does a great job in the telling and presentation of it.Alas, it was neither what I was looking for nor in the mood for. less
