Books about Queen

Hello !

"Queen": A Visual Documentary
"Queen": Concert Documentary
Queen: The Definitive Biograph

The question is: are these books good?

Because i've bought them and i'll receive them soon.

Thanks. Bye

Dont know about the other two, but if the Concert Documentary one is by Greg Brooks then you will find it full of mistakes.

I just got "Queen: As It Began" at the library. I have nothing to compare it to, so I guess it's good.

The Visual Documentary by Ken Dean is hard to get through. It's like a reporter wrote it after looking at the Queen catalogue for 10 minutes at a time.

Greg's book is really good, but there are some errors (I believe he wrote that both Hot Space and The Works were Queen's 13th albums?).

Dont read Laura Jacksons book- apparently its all bullshit.
I read Jims book Mercury and me. I thought it was lovely and made me cry alot. Showed the love between them.

I think that it's too late to ask that if you already ordered them!!!! ; )

Ive never read them dont really want too. I wouldnt read a book about queen unless freddie or the other members wrote it themselves cuz who the hell knows what people would write for money.

Aw, hell. I have that and having read no other books, I treated it like the Bible. Do you know exactly HOW much of it is bullshit? :(

I know Brian was going to help Laura write the book about himself, but she would not wait for Brian to become available. Brian was a bit miffed about it, so he never gave the book any credibility.

I have got Queen: The Definitive Biography and i have found that it is good. there are a few things in there that i didnt know, laura jackson writes about freddies flamboyant lifestyle, brian mays emototional excesses, roger taylors sexual scandels and john deacons private life. I thought it was a good read,
