And let me tell you how GLAD I am that I did.
First off, I want to mention that the structure of a documentary was an absolutely genius idea and confirms my admiration for Reid’s talent.
You just got to appreciate how, even though you know the ending, you follow the crescendo that she builds with a story narrated through a kaleidoscope of voices, and you buckled up for the ride. I honestly couldn’t keep away from this book.
The way she composed this story by giving voice to characters with such a different point of view and attitude towards things. You truly understand how even though you go through something, it isn’t going to mean the same to everybody. How a moment, an experience can feel such a joyous moment for one and a pivotal tragic one for another is truly the quintessence of human nature I believe.
She painted such a vivid picture of what it was like to be in a rock band in the ‘70s that I felt like they had actually existed. Also, how it was to be a woman not only in the 70s but also in the music industry in that period. I love how she gave voice to different kinds of experiences.
“A big part of this book is the idea that there are a lot of ways for a woman to be in a man’s world”
You can really see it and I think she did it justice for each of them. Being a woman of this century, everything Camila-Billy-Daisy related truly upset me. I would lie if I said it’s something I understand and share because one, i’ve never been married and two, i’ve never had such a relationship with anyone. but i’m kinda glad it ended the way it did.
