The Mercury man by Mary Howis has anyone every read it?

I have the book, its really good.

What I'm wondering is... why is he still hanging around? Does he feel that his work in conveying his message is not yet finished? Is he "stuck" here as a groundling and unable to move on? If so, that seems sad...

Or maybe I should just get this book...

I dunno, I doubt he has contact with Freddie's spirit.
What do you think?
Freddie (behind me): Ah, she's lying. Got any more of that Jarlsberg cheese?
Check the fridge.

it is a good book!

So you believed everthing in it? I do, I'm going to read it again.

Yes i do believe in it strongly. And as for ppl saying that he is grounded well thats bollox lol. He definately isnt grounded anywhere hes very much free. If you can get hold of the book read it. I have read it about 5 times now. I find it fasinating as i am into spiritulism myself. Take care x

interesting!

I read this book twice and found it to be fascinating! I actually believe every word of it, as the author appears to be completely sincere. All her communications with Freddie appear in the form of poems that he writes her periodically. She did get to know Peter Freestone for a while, when he opened a pub nearby her home. I believe Peter also makes mention of her in his second book, FREDDIE MERCURY THE AFTERLIFE.

I've read it too, and I think it's very true. One of her poems she got from Freddie, describes how his biggest fear was that he would never find love etc. Well, that's completely the way Freddie was!! Also, like mrfart (hehe) writes, she never mentiones that Freddie thought his life was a waste, she writes that he told her he didn't have any regrets, but that he could have done so much more.

I've to agree with mrfartpants this time :)

I'll quote some sentences of poems she got through:

'Freddie Mercury was my name
And it brought me wealth and fame
But underneath I was just me
Just one more person longing to be
Loved and cared for, cherished and caressed'

'It wasn't a waste
My time down on eath
Was only a waste
Of something eternal'

'My fear was I wouldn't find love
My hopes were, I'd make people see
I came for a purpose
My voice was a gift
I reached out and made myself known
But I never knew living a life such as this
Would make me feel so alone
I was famous and I know that
And loved by the crowds
But inside I always seemed lost
So the life that I lived
And the way that I was
In the end, I just paid the cost
But I wasn't unhappy
For all of my life
My music and songs were my life
I spent many years in the clouds in a dream
Thinking I was the only one
Because people adored me
And they seemed to love me
But from a distance, was all they could see
But people seemed to prefer it like this first
They said it might change my image
Of what they wanted to hear and see
If they would finally met me
It hurt at first, but I learned to accept
That this was the easiest, this was the best
Then there would be no disappointment of my image on stage
Because my image on stage, it wasn't really me
When I stepped up there, I was a different man
Whereas off stage, I was private
Liked to spend the time alone'

'I lived a reckless life. Because of it I used to say if a bomb would drops on us, so what, don't worry about it. If there was something that was a threat in my life, I would just say so what, that was my attitude. I loved life and took the consequences of that love, so what, I lost my responsibility especially in my younger years. The first thing I realised when I passed on to the spirit world was I could have done so much more........I feel I did not do my share. I should have done but don't let the world think that I am sad, because I'm not.
I did on earth everything I wanted to do, but my way, sometimes without any cares of the consequences......I have no regrets for myself but I had to die to know that I should have done so much more'

Decide for yourself :)

I think it's true

I think it's true

EDIT: oops double post :(

I think she's ripping you all off. She's never said anything about Freddie that didn't come out before or after his death.

Amateur poetry. She's about as genuine as John Edwards. My sister has seen shit that'd turn BB King WHITE, so it's pretty easy for me to tell when someone's a fraud.

My goodness, I can't believe 4 pages of webspace have been wasted on this pseudo-spiritual money-grabbing crap.

I've read the synopsis, and it looks like a load of crap. For someone like myself with a rational mind interested in the physical world, interacting with dead people isn't something I'm particularly interested in. I'm happy enough with Humpty Dumpty if I'm in the mood to read fairy tales.
