The characters felt flat and undeveloped for me (I guess there’s too many of them in this book for anyone to be developed fully). A fun read for the drama but I couldn’t get behind any characters and the ascension to fame and the fallout felt rushed in comparison to the contextual stuff at the start.

Graham’s reaction to Karen’s abortion felt out of place for his character and I really didn’t like it

Um WOW. This might have been the most immersive book I’ve ever read! The 70s encapsulated in every way, the good and the bad. The way it was written—in a unique sort-of magazine interview style—was really cool and made the characters seem all too real. Even with little “action” or typical descriptions, the dialogue captured everything about the band’s rise to fame, what they felt, what they pursued, who they were, who they loved. I couldn’t get over how alive TJR made each character seem, just by giving them words to say. There was so much to uncover between the lines. Never has lone dialogue conveyed so much. 

Growing up listening to Fleetwood Mac and being enamored with the band’s history and relationships made this book even more fascinating for me. You can clearly tell the inspiration is there, the similarities between Daisy and Stevie and Billy and Lindsey, etc., but it still felt like its own thing. I’m so excited for the show adaptation because I desperately need the band to be real. And the lyrics! Ugh they’re beautiful. 

This book is hyped for a reason. Believe it.

another great book by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six is a fictional novel in the style of various interview transcripts with the members of a 70s rock n roll band. all the characters and their dialogue felt really real and was as if I was watching a documentary in my head. it was really intruiging and i think gave a pretty accurate insight into life in the laurel canyon music industry in the 70s. I really loved the way Reid used interviews to create characters and tell the story, and there were lots of meaningful truths that the characters had learned about themselves and life. an unusual but amazing read overall.

I did enjoy this book however it was a bit messy and got pretty repetitive during the middle which made the book a little boring but then towards the end it picked up a bit. i probably woudn’t read it again but i did enjoy it.
