I liked the audiobook and all the different voice actors, although it was hard to keep track who was who at first. The book was a little slow but mainly interesting. I did really like the ending,

with the author reveal

but was kind of sad about

the two deaths at the end

. The very last bit of the ending was bittersweet

telling Billy to go find daisy again

I didn't think this book would be for me but I gave it a go any way due to all the positive reviews and..how wrong was I?! Getting whisked away into the land of rock 'n' roll was such an insightful, entertaining and emotional ride. The best thing about it was every character with their different perspectives and experiences seemed like they existed in reality. I couldn't put it down...absolutely worth the hype!

Wow - Perfect for music lovers and lovers of rock n roll! Super cool concept for a novel as well to tell it from the perspective of each band member. My only critique is I would have loved more interjections to understand their motives even more, but the book contains such beautiful and poignant quotes and I saved to reread someday.

TJR’s ability to write from multiple perspectives int this oral-history-style narrative is impressive and kept me engaged cover to cover.
