Description
In 1967, 21-year-old Pauline Butcher was working for a London secretarial agency when a call came through from a Mr Frank Zappa asking for a typist. The assignment would change her life forever. For three years, Pauline served as Zappa's PA, moving with him, his family and the Mothers of Invention to a log cabin in the Hollywood Hills, where the straight young English girl mixed with Oscar winners and rock royalty.
Freak Out! is the captivating story of a naive young English girl thrust into the mad world of a musical legend as well as the most intimate portrait of Frank Zappa ever written.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"The book describes a formative time in the life of an innovative musical artist, which Zappa most certainly was. But it also captures a particularly intense experience of a very brief, yet enormously influential, period in the evolution of western womanhood." (The Guardian)

Great story. Well told, well narrated.
Very informative and paints a good picture of the Zappa inner circle.

It really grew on me.
This is an account from a very strait-laced British woman who bumped into Frank Zappa one day and eventually ended up working for him in his inner circle for several years. To start with I found the author’s point of view and her endless insecurities rather vapid and annoying.
Likewise I found the narration a little jarring at first especially when imitating Frank’s voice.
Actually I almost abandoned the book about 1/4 of the way in, but am glad I didn’t.
It really is a fascinating glimpse into Frank’s home life, and the fact that the author is coming from a somewhat different planet to most of ‘the scene’, just makes it more interesting.
Also the narration got better throughout and the narrator actually eerily captures Frank’s voice a few times towards the end.
So I’m going to give it 5 stars because this was a very interesting listen.
