Amazing book and great writing. I love the concept. I listened to the audio version and it is THE BEST audio book I ever listened to. Simply amazing voice acting. Kudos! ( )

This is one of the most uniquely written books I've ever read, mixing my love of music and books.
As a graduate in the 1970s, I especially loved the timeline, although I'd have placed the extensive drug use into more of the late 1960s-early 70s. But that's probably my ignorance. Now, I'm looking back at concerts I attended around the late 70s and looking at the bands in a different light!

I can't imagine the research that the author put into this novel, and I also can't imagine the extensive character profile records. Amazing work! The whole time I read, I envisioned the movie, and who would play each character. I see they're making a TV series based on this book, I can't wait, and hope it will do this book justice.

I've read several of this author's books, and I think is my favorite of hers so far. ( )

I liked that the story is written as an interview. It was interesting and it allowed you to get different peoples perspectives on different situations. ( )

this is a well crafted book. at once simple, straightforward, and bursting with nuances and side stories. its about just trying to live your best life, love, sacrifices, sorrow, and rock 'n roll. the dynamics of the band members were compelling, and i specially loved the female characters.

now im wishing i could binge watch the series they based off this so i can actually see and hear the music and performances described in the book. ( )

I feel like I just got off tour with Daisy Jones & The Six. In Taylor Jenkins Reid's story Daisy Jones & the Six, we witness the rise and fall of the 1970's rock band The Six when joined by the free-spirited Daisy Jones. Reminiscent of a Rolling Stones Magazine interview, the events before and after the collaboration are told by the members of the band and those around them. Band-mates, roadies, lovers all tell their interpretation of the events that lead up to the success of The Six, the union with the independent Rocker Daisy Jones, and the toll it all takes on each one of them.

I can't honestly say there is anything I didn't like about this book. The characters were so developed that I could easily envision each one as they rocked on stage. The emotional connection between Billy and Daisy hit all the right heartstrings in a true Rock & Roll love story. I found myself page after page hoping for their happiness. I felt the part of the hype and pleaded that it never ended.
